Overview

In The Catalyst for Grace: Awakening to a Higher Love, Patricia Ferrara shares her experiences of an infinite loving Presence and how to attune to It. People entertain vastly different concepts of God, religion, and spirituality. Every belief system specifies rules of living, yet even the most devoted followers may never experience Grace in their lives. Rightful living puts one on the precipice, but Grace is activated through inner attunement. In 158 pages and 12 chapters, the author reveals her own experiences of Grace, including the spontaneous healing of her dying baby. Raised a devout Catholic, she came to deeply question her religion, including the existence of God, at least one that kept Its followers safe or responded to their prayers. Then in the hospital chapel, in deep sorrow but with the utmost sincerity she said: ""I don't know if there is a God, but if there is, I surrender."" That her plea was to a God she had come to largely doubt did not matter, as she found herself immediately held in the loving embrace of an all-knowing Presence, beyond description. While her outer circumstances had not changed, the inner knowing that she was truly and fully known, and truly and fully loved, by this great Presence lifted her from pain to an inner joy instantly and completely. Shortly thereafter the nurses told her that her baby had somehow been healed. The experience started the author on a new course of learning and teachings, with Grace opening doors and orchestrating events, both major and subtle. The author's life anecdotes are combined with a non-religious, universal approach to help people of any belief system understand and activate Grace in their lives. It is accessible to all at any time. Meditation and prayer are the gateways, but Grace needs an earnest invitation.
