What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid

For if grace, which saves us, abides with you, it will heal all our infirmities, because such is the power of grace. And it will abide with you if you do not drive it away. Grace dwells in souls that are well-disposed, filled with simple faith and brotherly love. …
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
"The grace," i.e., God's gratuitous gift that renders us pleasing to God; "of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." "Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ" (John 1:17).
