Grace is one of the most majestic words in theology. It suggests the sublime spontaneity of the
divine which no theory or category could ever capture. Grace has its own elegance. It is above the
mechanics of agenda or operation. No one can set limits to the flow of grace. Its presence and
force remain unmeasurable and unpredictable. Grace also suggests how fluent and seamless the
divine presence is. There are no compartments, corners or breakages imaginable in the flow of
grace. Grace is the permanent climate of divine kindness. It suggests a compassion and
understanding for all the ambivalent and contradictory dimensions of the human experience and
pain. This climate of kindness nurtures the sore landscape of the human heart and urges torn
ground to heal and become fecund. — John O’Donohue
