Question 2. Whether the wayfarer enjoys

161. Second I ask whether the wayfarer enjoys.

It seems that he does not:

Because the wayfarer has only an act of desire in respect of the absent good; but an act of desire is not an act of enjoyment. The proof of this is that desire is an act of concupiscence, but enjoyment is an act of friendship;     therefore etc     .

162. On the contrary:

“To enjoy is to adhere by love to something for its own sake,” as Augustine says, and it is contained in the text [On Christian Doctrine 1 ch.4 n.4; Lombard Sentences 1 d.1 ch.2]; but the wayfarer thus adheres to God; therefore he can enjoy God.
