445. Contemplation of moral life in its essence can show that it is life in accordance with human laws and at the same time Divine laws. If anyone therefore lives in accordance with those two sets of laws treating them as one, he is a truly moral person, and his life is charity. Anyone can grasp, if he wants, the nature of charity by considering external moral life. Simply copy external moral life, as it is to be seen in civilised society, in the internal man, so that his will and thought are similar to and in conformity with the deeds of the external, and you will see an ideal example of charity.
