| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Actual Grace |
 | | As the object of these graces is, according to their nature, the spread of the Kingdom of God on earth and the sanctification of men, their possession in itself does not exclude personal unholiness. | | | Grace (gratia, Charis), in general, is a supernatural gift of God to intellectual creatures (men, angels) for their eternal salvation, whether the latter be furthered and attained through salutary acts or a state of holiness. | | | But there are also merely external graces, which owe their existence to the merits of Christ's redemption -- as the Bible, preaching, the crucifix, the example of Christ. |

| | These are appropriate names for Graces, as are those given by the Athenians, who from of old have worshipped two Graces, Auxo and Hegemone... | | | In Greek mythology, the Charites (Χάριτες; Greek: "Graces") were goddesses of charm, beauty, nature, human creativity and fertility. | | | He also says that Sleep was a lover of Pasithea, and in the speech of Sleep there is this verse:-- |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Church |
| | Sanctifying grace, the title to salvation, is peculiarly the grace of those who are united to Christ in the Church: it is the birthright of the children of God. | | | Its inward life is found in the indwelling of the Holy Ghost, the gifts of faith, hope, and charity, the grace communicated by the sacraments, and the other prerogatives by which the children of God differ from the children of the world. | | | It may signify the whole body of the faithful, including not merely the members of the Church who are alive on earth but those, too, whether in heaven or in purgatory, who form part of the one communion of saints. |

| | Catholic Culture : Document Library : A New Marian Dogma? Coredemptrix, Mediatrix of All Graces, Advocate |
| | As there is a great outpouring of grace following every dogma of the Church, the solemn proclamation of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Coredemptrix, Mediatrix of all Graces, and Advocate will also be an occasion of great graces for the Church and the world from she who is the Mother of all peoples. | | | The definition of any dogma is accompanied by an outpouring of God's grace, of which the Church and the world today are sorely in need. | | | Among these graces will be the grace necessary for an authentic Christian unity and reaffirmation of the authority of the papal Magisterium for the fruit of greater ecclesial unity. |

| | Amazing Graces, June Cotner - HarperChildrens |
| | For example, in Amazing Graces, "Prayer Places" by Barbara Younger shows children that God listens to them wherever they are, prayer isn’t limited to church or kneeling beside their bed. | | | The prayers and poems in Amazing Graces are geared more for 4 to 8-year-olds, but my children and I have had many good talks using these graces as a starting point. | | | Not only Amazing Graces, but other books that will make your reading time fun. |

| | Fragrant Graces |
| | We have thus read the text in three ways, and there is a volume in each; but we turn over another page, for we want to read it in relation to the spiritual presence of Christ as he doth now reveal himself to his people. | | | well, believer, there is grace in thy heart, if thou be a child of God, when thou canst not see it thyself; when thy doubts have so covered up all thy hopes, that thou sayest, "I am cast out from his presence"; yet for all that, grace may be there. | | | And too, there is our unbelief, which puts a heavy stone on all our graces, and blows out the heat which was burning the frankincense, so that no altar- smoke arises towards heaven. |

St. Pius X said she was the "dispensatrix of all the gifts, and is the "neck" connecting the Head of the Mystical Body to the Members. | | | when He [the Father] has been invoked with excellent prayers, our humble voice turns to Mary; in accordance with no other law than that law of conciliation and petition which was expressed as follows by St. Bernardine of Siena : 'Every grace that is communicated to this world has a threefold course. | | | Closely related to the Catholic teaching on Mary's cooperation in the redemption is the teaching that, with through and under her Son, she is Mediatrix of all graces. |
