Contrition as the last disposition to sanctifying grace
Thesis CVI. 'If, at the same time, knowledge is added of how great, how many and how ungrateful are the sins by which we offend God, then free choice, anticipated by the same grace, just as it can elicit the act of supernatural love of God, so will be able to elicit the act of true sorrow for sins, felt on account of God, who is loved with an affection of supernatural love.
That sorrow is true contrition and the final disposition for sanctifying grace, which follows contrition in the same instant, though later in the order of nature.'
Latin
CVI. Quod si simul accedat cognitio magnitudinis, multitudinis, atque ingratitudinis peccatorum, quibus Deum offendimus, liberum arbitrium gratia eadem praeventum, ut elicere potest actum dilectionis Dei supernaturalis, ita poterit elicere actum veri doloris de peccatis, propter Deum ex affectu amoris supernaturalis dilectum, qui est vera contritio, & ultima dispositio ad gratiam gratum facientem, quae in eodem instanti, posterius tamen natura, contritionem ipsam consequitur.
