May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters.
Amen.
Very few of the famous comedians of our time had extremely comfortable, happy childhoods.
Somehow, they gained the insight, wisdom, and grace to laugh in spite of the state of their lives.
As George Santayana has said, "There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval."
Grace is God's way of bringing us the full joy of a relationship with God.
Ronald Newhouse, Texas, USA
(Galatians 6:18
NRSV)
We should understand that the grace of God is the beginning of our experience. By the
use of the full title of our Lord, Paul calls our attention to the greatness of God's grace. "Lord"
identifies Jesus as son of man. "Christ" identifies his mission as the one sent by the Father. Grace
is all that Jesus has done to remove the barriers between God and us, and to enable us to become
what God desires for us to be. Grace is God's generosity being expressed in Jesus Christ.
Prayer: God of grace, fill me full of your grace so that I may be able to help others see
the joy of having a close relationship with you. Amen.
