What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
For he hath delivered his soul from going onwards to destruction. Because when Divine Grace goes before us in good works, our free will follows it, we, who yield our consent to God Who delivers us, are said to deliver ourselves; and hence Paul when saying, I laboured more abundantly than they all, [1 Cor. 15, 1] for fear he should seem to ascribe his labours to himself, immediately added, Yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. …
Thomas Aquinas
He shows the fruit of humility saying, "For he freed my soul," in confessing his sin, "from going to destruction," which refers to death, corporeal or spiritual. He also wants to attain further goods and so he says, "but in living my soul will see the light," which is either the corporeal light or the spiritual light of wisdom.
