If you would know what is the Divine Grace, it is necessary first to realise that it is something which contradicts the law of the world, for it is outside its normal rule and not of its nature. There is here something which does not seem to govern at all the cosmic action, but only to intervene, and yet it is always there; an element without which this universe would be either a tremendous machine or a fortuitously and yet inexorably ordered chance. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p2</ref>

There are no words that can express the magnificence of the Grace: how everything is arranged for things to move as fast as possible. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/10/november-19-1969#p73</ref>

The Grace, the Grace alone can act. That alone can open the way, that alone can do the miracle. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/faith-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p51</ref>

…but this divine grace, if we may so call it, is not simply a mysterious flow or touch coming from above, but the all-pervading act of a divine presence which we come to know within as the power of the highest Self and Master of our being entering into the soul and so possessing it that we not only feel it close to us and pressing upon our mortal nature, but live in its law, know that law, possess it as the whole power of our spiritualised nature. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-integral-perfection#p12</ref>

Grace is not an invention, it is a fact of spiritual experience. Many who would be considered as mere nothings by the wise and strong have attained by Grace. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p14</ref>

In the whole manifestation there is an infinite Grace constantly at work to bring the world out of the misery, the obscurity and the stupidity in which it lies. From all time this Grace has been at work, unremitting in its effort, and how many thousands of years were necessary for this world to awaken to the need for something greater, more true, more beautiful. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/29-october-1958#p11</ref>

Then there is probably something else beyond the intellect which alone can give him[Man] the Light—something beyond his mind and greater than himself—a Grace that intervenes, the law of a supernormal Light and Will, a help, an opening from above. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p3</ref>

It [Divine Grace] is an action from above or from within independent of mental causes which decides its own movement. We can call it the Divine Grace; we can call it the Self within choosing its own hour and way to manifest to the mental instrument on the surface; we can call it the flowering of the inner being or inner nature into self-realisation and self-knowledge. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p6</ref>

It is only the Divine's Grace that can give peace, happiness, power, light, knowledge, beatitude and love in their essence and their truth. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace#p21</ref>

Keep good faith in the Grace. She is the doer of all miracles. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/faith-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p52</ref>
