Will is the power that helps us choose the good that has been selected by reason. It also helps us love and desire this good and rest in God, completely confident and joyful. Before humanity knew sin, the will was never deceived. It decided, loved, and acted with integrity. The will experienced and appreciated the real worth of everything then. Now it can’t, unless grace blesses its work. Infected by original sin, the will often delights in choosing something that only looks good, but is actually evil. The will and its object are contained and comprehended in the mind.
