Reading: Grace is a supernatural gift, something given to us by God to enable us to reach our supernatural end. Sanctifying grace, looking at it closely, is a spiritual supernatural quality conferred on our souls, to which it adheres like a radiant light, making it beautiful, brilliant, supernaturally spiritual, like unto God and pleasing in His sight. Sanctifying grace does not consist in the fact that God is well pleased with a soul, or that a soul is in favor with Him, but it is an actual quality residing in our soul which makes us pleasing to God.
