“Just as Christ came into this world only once, clothed in our flesh, He is also ready to come again, at any moment, to dwell spiritually in our hearts with the profusion of His graces, as long as we do not resist Him.” St. Charles Borromeo (1538-1584)  

How do we resist him? By choosing sin over him. By not following his commandments. By not doing the will of the Father. By not forgiving. By being lukewarm in our relationship. By not having him as Lord of our life. The grace of God is like the sun, beaming brightly on all that are open. Our resistance is like being in an enclosure with only a small opening for the sun’s ray to enter. We resist to our detriment. Yet, unfortunately, we choose sin over grace.
