Share in the Divine Life

Grace is a share in the divine life and this idea was the keystone of the retreat.  We have been raised above ourselves by baptism, and the law of this supernatural life is love, a love which demands renunciation.  This is the official meditation during the paschal season.  "Seek the things that are above...For you are dead: and your life is hid with Christ in God."  All this is the starting point of Christianity...--Dorothy Day, The Long Loneliness, pg. 257
