Thinking about last Sunday's second reading, and it's famous sentence, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God — not the result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). It made me think about myself, and how I'm lucky that the grace of God covers me, because my works often leave much to be desired. I was reminded of a poem by Madeleine L'Engle, which is a reminder to me that my will is insufficient to live a holy life, and that what gives me worth is God's grace alone.
