Fr. Ed Broom comments on the opening prayer: The hope of God´s heavenly grace. Every day we should pray that we understand grace better; that we appreciate grace; we grow in grace; if we have the misfortune to loose grace, to return to grace as soon as possible; and to turn to the Full of Grace. Let us beg the Full of Grace that we would appreciate grace more and more.
The Doctor of grace, St Augustine, says that if we are able do to any good, it is God´s grace. When we are able to do good, it is called prevenient grace, every good action is preceded by Gods grace. As the psalmist says: “Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory.”
