Charity spreads delight throughout the soul, which is rendered beautiful, pleasing and lovable by God's goodness. If the soul were a kingdom where the Holy Spirit is kind, charity would be its queen... and if the soul were a queen, a spouse of Heaven's great King, then charity would be the crown of royalty adorning her head; if the soul, together with the body, were a little world, then charity would be the sun giving it light, warmth and life.
(T.L.G. Book 2, Ch. 22; O. IV, p. 165)
