Chapter 1 - Christian Ideals Ideas and Reality “Each one becomes perfect, not by realizing one uniform standard of universal perfection in his own life, but by responding to the call and the love of God addressed to him within the limitations and circumstances of his own peculiar vocation.” “For all practical purposes, we might as well say that grace is the quality of our being that results from the sanctifying energy of God acting dynamically in our life. That is why in primitive Christian literature, and especially in the New Testament, we read not so much of receiving grace as of receiving the Holy Spirit—God Himself.” “We become saints not by violently overcoming our own weakness but by letting the Lord give us the strength and purity of his Spirit in exchange for our weakness and misery. Let us not then complicate our lives and frustrate ourselves by fixing too much attention on ourselves, thereby forgetting the power of God and grieving the Holy Ghost. Our spiritual attitude, our way of seeking peace and perfection, depends entirely on our concept of God. If we are able to believe He is truly our loving Father, if we can really accept the truth of His infinite and compassionate concern for us, if we believe that He loves us not because we are worthy but because we need His love, then we can advance with confidence.”
