Grace Happens – Metanoia Part I

Leave a comment

As we continue our journey through Lent, let us be open to grace.

Grace is a gift of the Divine. 

Because it comes to us at the Divine’s initiative, there are some things we can’t do about grace: 

We can’t earn it.

We can’t control it.

We don’t have to deserve it.

If grace is out of our hands, how do we receive grace? Accept that you are accepted.

Practice receiving. Receive objects, love, help and grace.

Notice when presents and presence come to you without your effort.
