Never pass judgment on anyone, for any cause. Never do evil to anyone. Discipline and purge yourself from material and spiritual evil. Cultivate a modest and gentle heart. If you can do all these things and see only your own faults, not those of others, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ will be with you abundantly. (Sayings of the Egyptian Fathers)

Grace is always offered, but seldom received.

The opportunity for grace can be neglected or rejected. I expect neglect is more common.

We become so distracted by desires, judgments, and even good works, that we sweep by moments of grace as a speeding car on a dusty road (with its radio blaring).

Grace abounds when we can cease our preoccupation with past and future.

Grace enters when we embrace the now.
