Grace via Thomas Aquinas

[Smoke Teff]

"That's it? Sit quietly? And Christ...will come?"

"We spoke of it as the Working of the Spirit, within. 'Tis a distinct
Change from teh ev'ryday...tha wouldn't be able to miss it, should it
happen...?"

"Yet then, you say, it passes..."

“It abides,--‘tis we who are ever recall’d from it, to tend to our
various mortal Requirements…? and so another such Visit soon becomes
necessary,--another great Turning, and so forth…? Howbeit, ‘tis all
Desire,--and Desire, but Embodiment, in the World, of what Quakers
have understood as Grace…?"
