The purpose of this article is to explain the following text of St.
Augustine, quoted in the counter-argument: "The invisible and
unchangeable Truth took a soul by means of the spirit, and a body by
means of the soul."
Conclusion. The Word assumed by means of the mind the other parts of
the soul, just as He assumed the body by means of the soul, on
account of the dignity of the order and the congruity of the
assumption; for mind is the highest part of the soul in its relation to
the sensitive soul.[766] What is meant by mind is the essence of
the spiritual soul from which the higher faculties are derived, those
that are purely spiritual, namely, the intellect and will.
