Q – Favorite Quotation? “Human beings, my friends,” said General Loewenhielm, “are frail and foolish. We have all been told that grace is to be found in the universe. But in our human foolishness and shortsightedness we imagine that divine grace has limits. We tremble when we make our choices in life, and after making them, we fear we might have made the wrong choice. But the moment comes when our eyes are opened, and we see and realize that grace is limitless. Grace, my friends, demands nothing from us. It makes no conditions and singles no one out in particular. Grace takes us all in and proclaims us free. What we have chosen is given us, and what we have refused is also granted us. It is poured out upon us in abundance. For mercy and truth have met together, and righteousness and bliss have kissed one another.”  from Babette’s Feast.
