Grace and the Sacraments

Grace and Salvation presents a thorough catechetical treatment of one of the central mysteries of the Christian life: the indispensable role of divine grace in man's salvation. With theological precision and pastoral clarity, Fr. Michael Mueller explains how every movement toward God begins with His grace, yet always preserves the freedom and responsibility of the human person to cooperate with that grace.

Drawing from Sacred Scripture and the perennial teaching of the Catholic Church, Fr. Mueller carefully distinguishes actual and habitual grace, explains the process of justification, and demonstrates how the merits of Christ are communicated to the faithful through the seven sacraments. He also emphasizes the necessity of good works, perseverance, and fidelity to God's continual invitations to holiness.

Rich in doctrine yet accessible to the ordinary Catholic, this classic volume provides a practical roadmap for understanding how grace transforms the soul, strengthens virtue, overcomes sin, and conforms the Christian ever more perfectly to Jesus Christ.
