Aquinas for May XXI

Gratia Dei datur ad duo: scilicet ad bonum operandum, et ad vitandum malum; et quantum ad ista duo perfectissimam gratiam habuit beata virgo.

"The grace of God is given for two reasons, to wit, that good be done and that evil be avoided; and in both these ways the Blessed Virgin had grace in a most complete amount."

Super Ave Maria art. 1
