Jean Eudes - Grace!

"There are some favors that the Almighty does not grant either the first, or second, or third time you ask him, because he wishes you to pray for a long time and often he wills this delay to keep you in a state of humility — and to make you realize the value of his grace."— Jean Eudes

Romans 6:11-14 - Grace

In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

PC Sense - "Lord" is reinstated!

A local authority has reinstated the the word "Lord" in the grace before meals following a number of complaints from parents.
Highland Council confirmed "Lord" was dropped from the prayer at Portree Primary after a request by a parent.
However, the local authority said other parents and community members contacted the school to "voice their displeasure" at the change.
A council spokeswoman said the word had been reinstated.

For what we are about to receive, may the xxxx make us truly thankful. Amen.

Doesn't really have the same sense and if it is removed, who exactly are we giving thanks to? Common sense prevails!
