Gratitude: it is you who open all the closed doors and let the Grace which saves penetrate deeply. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/gratitude#p1</ref>

Gratitude A loving recognition of the Grace received from the Divine. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/gratitude#p2-p3</ref>

...to be grateful, never to forget this wonderful Grace of the Supreme who leads each one to his divine goal by the shortest ways, in spite of himself, his ignorance and misunderstanding, in spite of the ego, its protests and its revolts. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/05/july-15-1964#p1</ref>

The best possible way is to allow the Divine Grace to work in you, never to oppose it, never to be ungrateful and turn against it—but to follow it always to the goal of Light and Peace and unity and Ananda. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p24</ref>

And later—you must pay great attention to this (''Mother puts her finger on her lips'')—the Grace will answer you, the Grace will pull you out of the trouble, the Grace will give you the solution to your problem or will help you to get out of your difficulty. But once you are free from trouble and have come out of your difficulty, don't forget that it is the Grace which pulled you out, and don't think it is yourself. For this, indeed, is the important point. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/15-september-1954#p33</ref>

One must have a great purity and a great intensity in one’s self-giving, and that absolute trust in the supreme wisdom of the divine Grace, that It knows better than we do what is good for

us, and all that. Then if one offers one’s aspiration to It, truly gives it with enough intensity, the results are marvellous. But one must know how to see them, for when things are realised most

people find it absolutely natural, they don’t even see why and how it has happened, and they tell themselves, “Yes, naturally it had to be like that.” So they lose the joy of... the joy of gratitude,

because, in the last analysis, if one can be filled with gratitude and thanksgiving for the divine Grace, it puts the finishing touch, and at each step one comes to see that things are exactly what they had to be and the best that could be. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/13-july-1955#p44</ref>

All discoveries are always graces—wonderful graces. When you discover that you can't do anything, when you discover that you are a fool, when you discover that you have no capacity, when you discover that you are so petty and mean and stupid, well... "Oh, Lord, I thank You so much, how good You are to show me all this!" And then, it's over. Because the minute you discover it, you say, "Now this is up to You. You will do what has to be done for all this to change." And the best part of it is that it does change! It does change. When you do like this (''gesture of offering to the Heights''), sincerely: "Oh, take it, take it, take it, rid me of it, let me be... only You"... It's wonderful. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/07/january-31-1966#p48-p49</ref>

Right use of the granted Grace: no deformation, no diminution, no exaggeration―a clear sincerity. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace#p30</ref>
