We imagine divine grace to be finite. For this reason we tremble . . . We tremble before making a choice in life, and after having made it again tremble in fear of having chosen wrong" . . . But the moment comes when our eyes are opened and we see and realize that grace is infinite . . . See! that which we have chosen is given us, and that which we have refused is, also and at the same time, granted to us. Ay, that which we have rejected is poured upon us abundantly.
