- Whether grace is greater in one than in another?
Whether grace is greater in one than in another?
Objections
❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that grace is not greater in one than in another. For grace is caused in us by the Divine love, as stated above (Question [110], Article [1]). Now it is written (Wis. 6:8): "He made the little and the great and He hath equally care of all." Therefore all obtain grace from Him equally.
❌ Objection 2 : Further, whatever is the greatest possible, cannot be more or less. But grace is the greatest possible, since it joins us with our last end. Therefore there is no greater or less in it. Hence it is not greater in one than in another.
❌ Objection 3 : Further, grace is the soul's life, as stated above (Question [110], Article [1], ad 2). But there is no greater or less in life. Hence, neither is there in grace.
