Grace is always present. You imagine it is something somewhere high in the sky, far away, and has to descend. It is really inside you, in your Heart, and the moment you effect subsidence or merger of the mind into its Source, grace rushes forth, sprouting as from a spring within you. —Ramana Maharshi

Spirituality from Daily Word: “Grace” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Gracia”)
Grace I am one with the grace of God. When I think of grace, movement may come to mind: a bird’s gentle flight; a lithe ballerina’s dance; a peaceful, meandering stream; or the continuous movement of stars and planets. Looking within, I remember grace as the movement of Spirit always at work in my life….
Spirituality from Daily Word: “Grace” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Gracia”)
Grace I extend God’s grace to others. Throughout my life, I have been healed, protected, and blessed and have prospered by and through the grace of God. Today I extend God’s grace outward. Rather than be pulled down into discord, I rise above it, losing the need to be right and choosing forgiveness and understanding…

POEMS: “Pain’s purpose” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Pain’s Purpose How blind is he who prays that God will send All pain from earth. Pain has its use and place; Its ministry of holiness and grace. The darker tones upon the canvas blend With light and color; and their shadows lend The painting half its dignity. Efface The sombre background, and you lose…
Spirituality from Daily Word: “Grace” (Espiritualidad de la Palabra Diaria: “Gracia”)
Grace I open my heart to the grace of God. Grace pours into my life when I open my heart to the goodness and light of God, especially during a dark time. I don’t make grace happen, but I can choose to be open to it. Grace seems to come unbidden, but my receptivity welcomes…

Spiritual Excerpt from “The Gift of Gravity” by Wendell Berry

We are what we…

Just as benefactors or organizations match donations given on behalf of a worthy cause, my efforts are matched many times over by the spiritual resource that is infinite intelligence and compassion. Every step I…
