Haiti Still Needs Our Help! Episcopal Relief and Development
is providing critical emergency funds to
Haiti
following the devastating
earthquake of January 12, 2010.
Grace, which is charity, contains in itself all virtues in a hidden and
potential manner, like the leaves and the branches of the oak hidden in
the meat of an acorn. To be an acorn is to have a taste for being an oak
tree. Habitual grace brings with it all the Christian virtues in their
seed.
