The power of grace: a sinuous and gentle ability to transform the ordinary into the special. And it multiplies itself. Those who have been recipients of it find their souls suffused with gratitude, and begin to offer it to others. Grace is entirely gratuitous. There is nothing that can be done to earn it or own it. It comes always as a gift, and can only ever been given away. Grace streams into life as eagerly and freely as sunlight, and we find ourselves strangely warmed whenever it touches us.
