How To Live By Grace

How to Live by Grace by Fr. Wojciech Giertych, O.P. explores the profound relationship between divine grace and human action, offering a unique blend of theological insight and practical guidance. The author, Theologian of the Papal Household, unveils grace not as a distant, mystical concept but as a living reality given at baptism and deeply embedded in our daily lives. Drawing on the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas, he illuminates how grace harmonizes with human freedom, transforming moral theology into a pathway of spiritual growth rather than a strict code of conduct. With reflections, questions, and scriptural meditations, this book guides believers in rediscovering grace as an active force within them, empowering them to live authentically and creatively in God’s presence. How to Live by Grace is both an invitation and a resource for anyone desiring to understand and live out the divine gift of grace in the complexities of modern life.

This masterpiece reveals the secret of God’s presence in human action and how we can cooperate in allowing God to lovingly shape our hearts so that we can produce fruit that will last. Fr. Wojciech Giertych, O.P., the theologian of the Papal Household, offers a uniquely insightful exploration of how divine grace works within human actions, elevating them to a supernatural level.

Through the prism of the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas, Pope St. John Paul II, St. Therese of Lisieux, and Bl. Marie-Eugene of the Child Jesus, among others, Fr. Giertych examines the often untapped divine grace we receive at Baptism. With fresh insights, he unpacks the foundations of moral theology in a relational way, asking, “How can God’s love meet man?”
