The Nature of Grace
Grace is the substance of Christian perfection and our sharing in the divine life itself. It is freely given, a gift, and causes thanksgiving in us. Grace is a habit that informs our being or living, similar to how being healthy is a habit. Grace is the health of our whole person, including our spiritual health, and it cannot coexist with sin. It has the power to push sin to the periphery of our lives and has a healing and elevating effect on us.
