Grace does not erase who we are; it perfects and elevates what God has already placed within us. As the Catechism teaches, “Grace builds on nature” (CCC 2005). Strengths are part of that nature, and when we understand them, we can cooperate with grace more freely. Instead of trying to imitate someone else’s path to holiness, we can cultivate virtue in the way God designed us to flourish.
The American Flag is a symbol of our heritage. Not a perfect heritage, and not a simple one, but a real one.
Mary reminds us that holiness is possible in ordinary life. Her humility counters our culture's obsession with self-promotion, her trust challenges our need for control, and her tenderness softens the edges of our hurried hearts.
Simply Holy Insiders discover joy, inspiration, and simple, everyday spirituality with a Marian twist. They receive encouragement for deepening their faith, coaching tips, and practical advice for living a more purpose-filled life.

thanx Marge, for your excellent Divine Mercy “conversion”, I too never heard of it til I moved here to AZ in 1989 — went to a special Mass and devotion and was hooked, seems to grow and get better every single yr, at our parish, God is definitely pouring his MERCY on each of us, were the blessed ones that recognize HIM as soooo forgiving.
