Ave Maria Meditations
Grace is a supernatural gift of God with which He penetrates hearts, renews them, elevates them, transforms them into Himself. What water is to the arid earth grace is for your heart. The Holy Spirit who is the substantial love of the Father and the Son, consumes your misery with His gifts if only you cast it into those defined flames and thus He transforms you into a new being.
Grace is the support of human freedom because it is its guide, its help, its lifting up… your soul is well established when it is under the influence of this divine grace. Do you feel drowsy in your spirit? Lift your eyes up to God, call upon the Holy Spirit and beg Him to awaken you to life and to divine love.
Do you feel depressed and disheartened? Call upon this infinite Love in order to be lifted up, that you will become accustomed to live in a spirit of continual offerings and you will touch with your hand what is impossible to you, but very possible to the grace of God!
The grace of God is not frugal or stingy because it is the expansion of love. You must, therefore, distrust yourself and trust much in the grace of God.
Servant of God, Don Dolindo Ruotolo
