And think not you can guide the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course.

Many of my Christian brothers and sisters speak of a state of Grace, that is, a being in Grace. Possibly, we could rightly say that we can or cannot be in a state of Grace, but we cannot not be in Grace. Otherwise, Grace is dependent on us and is not unconditional, which Christianity teaches. I have nothing to do or become to be in Grace. With the realization that I am in Grace, I am inspired to act and think from Grace. Grace awakens us to Grace. Prayerfulness is, then, a living with faith in the movement, the inspiration, the fact, often unseen and not even felt in any particular way, that arises from our "Yes" to Grace, by whatever we call Grace. We come to see Grace everywhere. Where others would see Grace hidden, we see Grace brightly shining in all Its Beauty.

We are each a lovely, pure Rose, in the Garden of Grace.
