Reading & Meditation on Grace by Rev. Christine Emmerling, D.D. 10/25/2026

Our reading for today is from Divine Science Daily Study by Dr. Lucile Frederick, 1902-1994; a Divine Science minister, chief architect of the Divine Science School, and a long-standing leader of the Divine Science Federation International.

GOD’S GRACE

“God is bound to act, to pour Himself into thee, as soon as He shall find thee ready.” (Meister Eckhart)

God’s grace is not something mysterious and apart from us. It is the omnipresence, the omniscience, the omnipotence, and the omni-action of God, expressing through the living Christ in our own souls. Understanding and healing come in the ratio of our ability to unify ourselves with our Source. We are not separate, isolated fragments of life; we are centers of Divine Life. Each must find his own Christ center. Another cannot do it for us; but how wonderful it is to know a truth that sets us free. And when we know this truth, a metamorphosis takes place in our lives. It is the end of one form of thinking and being and the beginning of a new form and way.

We cannot escape God’s grace, for we abide in it daily. But let us awaken to its presence and perfection in our lives and affairs. Many have been healed by knowing, accepting, and unifying with this beautiful Truth.

Affirm: Today I acknowledge and give thanks for the grace of God in my life.

Meditation

We shall now move into a meditation on Grace. As I speak to internalize for yourself. Relax, get comfortable. As we close our eyes let us turn inward to our sacred temple. Now bring our attention to our breath as the life and breath of God, Infinite Spirit. Each inhale is activating every atom and every cell with the Divine Life Force -- Pure Radiant Light -- Divine Love. Each exhale is releasing this life, light and love into the world....

God’s grace is infinite and everywhere present. God’s grace is unstoppable goodness. Whatever the need may be God’s grace fulfills. There are no requirements in receiving God’s grace. I am an open vessel for God’s grace to flow through.

God’s grace is here now blessing me. (Repeat)

God’s grace comes in many forms:

The universe that is full of life, light and love;

A world where there is plenty to share and spare;

A body that restores and heals.

Being forgiven, and my ability to forgive;

Having the love of family and friends, and my ability to love them all;

Having my eyes open to see the good that is right here;

My relationship with God that is ever unfolding.

I am grateful for the grace in my life.

Now silence….

Thank you, God, for this expanded awareness of grace. Now let us bring our attention back to our breath, to our body, and be fully present.
