From “Heaven in Faith: Day 6 Prayer 1” found in The Complete Works vol 1:
19. “We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us.” That is our great act of faith, the way to repay our God love for love; it is “the mystery hidden” in the Father’s heart, of which St. Paul speaks, which, at last, we penetrate and our whole soul thrills!”
