Br. Gabriel O'Neill, O.P., on Being Open to God's Grace

"Jesus Christ teaches that we totally rely on his grace to possess friendship with him, to resist temptation, and to perform good works. . . .

"We all have advice we wish we could give to our past self. This is the principal one for me. Apart from me you can do nothing. If only I could go back ten years and instill in myself this profound spiritual truth - when we rely on our own natural powers in the spiritual life, we are as lifeless as a branch severed from its vine. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Brother Gabriel O'Neill, O.P., reflected on the importance of being open to God's presence and His grace in our lives.
