perfection of heart

St. Francis de Sales an opinion which I invite you to meditate. 'There is a perfection which is impossible to the most perfect, unless it has been confirmed to them in grace; this is the perfection of conduct. And there is a perfection immediately realisable to the most imperfect, this is the perfection of the heart'.[24] The perfection of the heart, or of the will, is the desire for perfection, the hunger for holiness. The most imperfect, you have heard, can rise to it. Understand therefore that Jesus' demands as regards us are the demands of love. He wants us to be united to him now, so that we may accomplish our fraternal task (of which we have yet to speak) and find in the possession of God the satisfaction of all our noble desires.
