Grace is a supernatural light and a special gift of God. It is the proper mark of the elect and a pledge of eternal salvation. It lifts a man above the things of earth to the love of heavenly things, making a spiritual man of a worldling.
The more nature is kept down and overcome, the more grace fills a man's soul, and through new daily visitations the soul is formed more and more to the image of God.
From "The Imitation of Christ" by Thomas A. Kempis
