I've been thinking a lot about grace today because our reading was the Prodigal Son, and I loved our priest's take on the elder son, how he also received grace after being prideful and thinking he deserved a special prize for "doing it all right." Anyway, I digress. Here is a lovely quote about grace:

"Remove grace and you have nothing whereby to be saved. Remove free will and you have nothing that could be saved." Anselm of Canterbury
