An Unfathomable Gift

19th Sunday After Pentecost 2022
We should look to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque as a model for our growth in the spiritual life.  Many times she experienced the pull of the world drawing her away from her exalted calling.  It was only by responding to God’s grace that she ultimately fulfilled His true designs for her.  We are taught about Sanctifying Grace in both the Epistle and Gospel for today’s Mass.  We are instructed to “put on the new man” and told of the necessity of the “wedding garment” to share in the happiness of the King.  We should be willing to lose our life a hundred times rather than lose the unfathomable gift of grace.
