Featured Term selected at random:
ILLUMINATING GRACE
Actual grace conferred by God to enlighten the mind. Its main function is to enable a person to believe with certitude in God's revelations, and to better understand the mysteries of faith and of divine providence. It is thus fundamental in the spiritual life, since moral conduct and sanctity absolutely depend on the prior convictions of faith which reside in the intellect illuminated by God's grace.

So in other words, the different types of grace, sort of interact with one another, am I correct? I have to go back and read up on this. I don't remember things as well as I used to! Thanks for taking the time to post these! I look forward to it every day!
God bless you, Salvation!

I gotta tell ya, every time I see your posts, I love the handle! It reminds me of my favorite baby-boomer cartoon with the singing frog, "one froggy evening...." He's Michigan J Frog, but I like yours better!
God bless!
