An exception is a bad thing to make a rule over.
Most Catholics talk as if grace is given only through the sacraments and yet, if grace can be given without them, then there’s no need for them.
When I need God’s grace is when someone cuts me off on the interstate to get to an exit when they could have pulled in behind me.
I need it when I’m in the check out line and someone is paying for luxuries I can’t afford with an EBT card.
Grace is for the moment, not something that can be stored up for a rainy day.
You and Naaman! ;o)
Grace has many aspects. It is the life of the soul. We should be increasing in grace every day. That is what I pray for.
That, my Sister in Christ, is a keeper!!
Unlike my dear Sisters in Christ, betty boop and Alamo-girl, I tend to get pretty "UN-gracious" -- and that fairly often. And, like you, that is precisely when I need grace-filled behavior the most!
Sorry, Mrs. Don-o: but... if i I had to go to a "filling station" for grace, I would be in a heap o' trouble...
