The greater perfection…
The greater perfection a soul aspires after, the more dependent it is upon divine grace.

Grace and gratitude belong together like heaven and earth. Gratitude evokes grace like the voice and echo. Gratitude follows grace as thunder follows lightning.

The Holy Spirit is holiness, love, a kiss, a gift, union, consummation, and perfection.
–Emil Merch (1890-1940)
The treasure of grace is…
We should have frequent recourse to prayer, and persevere a long time in it. God wishes to be solicited. He is not weary of hearing us. The treasure of His graces is infinite. We can do nothing more pleasing to God than to beg incessantly that He bestow them upon us.
–Saint John Baptiste de la Salle (1651-1719)
The victory of the Cross…
No one, however weak, is denied a share in the victory of the cross. No one is beyond the help of the prayer of Christ.
–Saint Leo the Great (c. 400-461)
Every blade of grass…
Every blade of grass is a blade of grace, a grace note in God’s single Song. Nature is not blind and dumb. Nature is eloquent. Human science is blind and dumb if it does not hear this eloquence.
–Peter Kreeft (1937- )
