Get to know my Course:
The Prince of Theology, St. Thomas Aquinas says that the “the whole world and all it contains is of less value before God than the grace in a single soul.” And he adds that “grace is nothing other than a certain participated likeness of the divine nature.”
This makes us, who live in a state of grace, belong to the race of God, to use the expression of a great theologian: Matthias Joseph Scheeben.
What is grace? It is something so excellent that if we truly knew its worth, we’d be willing to sell everything to acquire it and hold on to it. (cf. Mt. 13:44)
In this course, I’ll explain what grace means, according to the Fathers and the Doctors of the Church. We’ll also see what the supernatural life of grace in our souls means to us. All this and more in this course on the greatest gift of God: His divine grace!
