While we are on the subject of living in a state of grace. I highly recommend the book "Every day Grace" by Marianne Williamson. A beautifully written book of inspiration.
Shares her insights on the spiritual journey of the modern day mystic. By weaving magical texts, such as Cinderella and the Harry Potter trilogy into her teachings, Marianne introduces the five mystical wands that you can use to transform every aspect of your life.
Expounds on how practicing ritual, observing the Sabbath, and honoring holidays are all key in returning to the deeply spiritual presence that exists within the core of each of us.
Invokes deeper spiritual presence through powerful prayer and practical exercises that will assist you in incorporating greater spiritual connection into your daily life.
Describes relationships as "laboratories for the Holy Spirit." She shares a powerful meditation in which you can meet with the souls of individuals with whom you may be struggling and experience extraordinary healing from a place "beyond" personality conflicts.
