"When we become aware of needing some particular grace, such as God's help in the struggle with some temptation, or with overcoming some sin, or in obtaining some virtue, this awareness itself is the grace of God at work." So writes Br. Charles over at A Minor Friar. As the good Franciscan padre explains, God wants to give us the graces necessary for us to live a godly life, but he won't force such graces upon us."

Orthodoxy teaches us that we can know God in his energies, but not in His essence. Where one of the Holy Trinity is present, all are present. The Holy Trinity has visited you if you have encountered God's Grace, Mercy, Love, Peace...
