The  grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you.

 

 

“Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage.”

 

“Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality--not as we expect it to be but as it is--is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love.”
