Sunday Dinner: Grace

“Grace is a power that comes in and transforms

a moment into something better”

“…whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious,

if there is anything worthy of praise,

think about these things.

And peace will be with you.”

“Grace is the celebration of life,

relentlessly hounding all the non-celebrants in the world.

It is a floating, cosmic bash shouting its way

through the streets of the universe,

flinging the sweetness of its cessations to every window,

pounding at every door in a hilarity

beyond all liking and happening,

until the prodigals come out at last and dance,

and the elder brothers

finally take their fingers out of their ears.”

“How we fall into grace.

You can’t work or earn your way into it.

You just fall. It lies below, it lies beyond.

It comes to you,

unbidden.”
