"By grace I mean the manifestation of God's friendliness."

"What I mean by Grace may easily be misunderstood, or only half-understood. Its full meaning is only partly suggested by the Tamil word arul — divine blessing — and the Greek word charis — free and beautiful gift."

* *

"Grace is either a gift from above or a state within, a help of some kind or an experience reverently felt."

* *

"There are little graces, such as those which produce the glimpse; but there is only one great Grace: this produces a lasting transformation, a deep radical healing and permanent enlightenment."

* *

"There is a power which inspires the heart, enlightens the mind, and sanctifies the character. It is the power of Grace."

* *

"The grace of an infinite being is itself infinite."

* *

"The Grace is always present since the Infinite Power from which it originally comes is always present."

* *

"Grace comes from outside one's own self although it seems to manifest entirely within oneself."
