Outward occasions counted as rousing grace (Valencia, Alvarez)
Thesis XXXVIII. Indeed, although that special help, which they divide into rousing and assisting, strictly consists in inward movements of the soul, as has been said, many also count certain outward things as rousing grace. These are the occasions and opportunities that God's providence supplies to a person so that such movements may be stirred in him, in both the intellect and the appetite.
Examples are sickness, dangers, good companions, misfortunes and various other events, as may be seen in Gregory of Valencia at the place just cited.
Alvarez likewise notes that rousing grace includes both an outward rousing, which comes through creatures and signs perceived by the senses, and an inward one, which comes directly from God when he puts devout thoughts into the mind and sets before it what can lead free choice to the act of faith and charity and to other supernatural works (De auxiliis divinae gratiae, book 8, disputation 75).
Latin
XXXVIII. Imo quanquam auxilium illud speciale, quod in excitans & adjuvans dividunt, in internis animi motibus, ut dictum est, proprie consistat; multi tamen ad gratiam excitantem revocant etiam externa quaedam: ut sunt occasiones & opportunitates, quas divina providentia suppeditat homini, ut in eo excitentur hujusmodi motus, tam in intellectu, quam in appetitu. Cujusmodi sunt infirmitas, pericula, boni socii, adversitates, & alii varii eventus: sicut videre est apud Gregorium de Valentia loco modo citato. Et similiter Alvares notat gratiam excitantem comprehendere excitationem, tum externam, quae fit per creaturas & signa sensibilia; tum etiam internam, quae fit a Deo immediate, quum immittit pias cogitationes, & proponit ea quae inducere possunt liberum arbitrium ad actum fidei & charitatis, & alias supernaturales operationes. De auxiliis divinae gratiae lib. 8. disp. 75.
