Grace
(page 2)
Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.
When I was a child, I was raised Catholic. Somewhere, I didn't fit with the saints and holy men. I discovered the monsters — in Boris Karloff, I saw a beautiful, innocent creature in a state of grace, sacrificed by sins he did not commit.
For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile.
Grace has been defined as the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul.
God's mercy and grace give me hope — for myself, and for our world.
