They come to a personal cleaving to the Lord. They taste that the Lord is gracious. His blood and righteousness appear infinitely perfect, full and free to their soul.

They find infinite strength in him for the use of their soul — grace for grace — all they can need in any hour of trial and suffering to the very end.

What is 'grace'? It is God's own life, shared by us. God's life is love. Deus caritas est.

Indeed, outside of Him there is nothing, and whatever exists exists by His free gift of its being, so that one of the notions that is absolutely contradictory to the perfection of God is selfishness.

Grace comes immediately to meet some of those who strive, giving them assurance of the earnest of their inheritance (cf. Eph. 1:14), letting them taste the promised prizes, as if stretching out a loving hand to welcome them and anointing them for further struggles.

Without Grace, Sam was a joke without a punch line.
