Mother Mary Channeled by Geraldine Innocente 

Bellow is an authentic channeling of Mother Mary speaking about the importance of Grace. I decided to share this because Grace is one of my favorite subjects.

Mother Mary: Memoir #11 (dictated to Geraldine Innocente, 1955, Bridge to Freedom)

​In the name of the one living God that beats your hearts, in the name of the Ascended Jesus Christ whom I represent, I call today from the heart of Heaven itself the grace of the Holy Spirit, that sweet anointing from Above that descends, enters into your soul and stirs there again the remembrance of the perfection which you knew long before the world was! This grace of the Holy Spirit which I call forth for you now releases the perfume of your own divinity coming from that airless cell in your heart. It satisfies your souls, sublimates it and raises each of you again into the glorious and magnificent victory of your God-estate from when you have fallen into present limitation.
I speak to you this morning on the subject of grace. Grace comes alone from the spirit and is a gift from the Godhead itself. It is grace which makes it possible for those of you among all the great numbers of people in this city to believe that I AM here, to comprehend My words and to accept the possibility and actuality of the communion of saints with unascended beings. It is that spiritual grace which enables the soul to discern truth, that enables the heart to recognize the import of the cosmic moment, that enables the knee to bend before the cosmic law's fiat, and Our hands to be outstretched to give assistance. Even in your world of outer activity that which is done gracefully, that which is done with a spirit filled with a sense of grace, brings happiness to all the individual contacts. That which is done grudgingly or thru a sense of duty ofttimes brings little of comfort or happiness to either the benefactor or the one who is the recipient of the benefaction.
This spirit of grace is an ephemeral activity and yet it should be wooed, invoked and called forth by the students upon the path. Without it one misses so many of the wonderful opportunities of each hour. You see, the sounds of the outer world are so loud that the voice of the spirit within can scarcely be heard.
I have been called so kindly the Mother of Grace and have been referred to as being an individual filled with grace. As one who abided within a state of listening grace thru all My life, I can recommend to you the cultivation of that specific radiation which comes from God. My children, live within a state of listening grace, for you never know the hour of visitation. Never do you know when the voice of God speaking thru the lips of an outer man may be giving to you the opportunity of a lifetime! However, when you are calm and poised and your inner Self is filled with that consciousness of grace you can hear the Word of God and see his living Presence no matter what the disguise or the form thru which it manifests. I have been told that had I not been in a state of grace at the instant when Gabriel chose to come and give to Me the message concerning the coming of the Messiah I would have missed Him. If Joseph had not been listening within his secret heart We would not have heard the warning of the angel to flee before Herod's wrath. All thru Our lives in split-second crises the consciousness of harmony and living inside with God made it possible for Us to avert so many of the appearances that could have engulfed Us.
Grace is of the spirit. He who lives within that calm radiant peace, resting on the bosom of his own eternal immortal flame, such a man is wise indeed. He is ever alert to the Word of God in every sense and the direction of the great and majestic Presence, ready for the messengers from On High who would choose to use such an one.
