I interview John Paul Meenan, professor at Seat of Wisdom College in Ontario.  From a Catholic perspective, we explore the idea of Grace.  What is grace, responding to grace, how to increase out capacity for grace.  What is the role of grace in our lives, and what does that mean for parents.  He is fluent in St. Thomas, and we benefit as parents from the insight he brings alive.   3:27 -The definition of grace and how to grow in grace19:41 - Are harder sacrifices more meritorious?23:50 - Concrete examples for parents how to access grace34:32 - What if we've messed up? How can we access grace at this point? 44:12 - Having a plan of life 48:07 - Grace builds on naturehttps://catholicinsight.comhttps://www.seatofwisdom.caThe Diary of a Country Priesthttps://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HT
