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.

Hi Marge, I’m not register with Catholic Lane so I came back here to comment on Flash Mobs. First though, you’ve been highlighted at the Pay it Forward meme by Anne which is how I found you. I had no idea of the history of flash mobbing but I have to tell you of a wonderful flash mob that I found on Youtube called A Catholic Eucharistic Flash Mob and I blogged about it. I’ve been encouraging people to watch it since it’s so moving and touching to see the people worship Jesus in the Holy Eucharist and for the others who are watching and thinking… seeds being planted! You should check it out and watch a positive one! http://www.rosarymom.blogspot.com
