T HE TEACHING OF THE CHURCH 85
As soon as she ended this divine supplication, a strong and
powerful grace came forth from the source of all graces, the adorable
Heart of our Jesus, and enlightened the soul of the poor dying
Jewess and triumphed instantaneously over her resistances.
This soul turned around with love and confidence towards Him
whose mercy followed her even in the arms of death and she said
(in her heart): “O Jesus, God of the Christians, God that my son

all this concordant teaching of the Church, we can have but one
faithful attitude, that of receiving this teaching, holding fast to it
in eodem sensu, eademque sententia–in the same sense and the same
words (I Cor. 1:10). The doctrine of baptism of blood and baptism
of desire is inseparably linked by the Church to the dogma
