The Lord God grants His graces in two ways: by inspiration and by enlightenment. If we ask God for a grace, He will give it to us; but let us be willing to accept it. And in order to accept it, self denial is needed. Love does not consist in words or feelings, but in deeds… Jesus in me makes up for all my deficiencies. His grace operates without ceasing.
–Saint Faustina (1905-1938)
