The graces of Jesus Christ are innumerable and splendid as the stars of heaven. He is "full of grace and truth" (John i. 14). "In Him it hath pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell" (Col. i. 19). The basis of all His graces was the supereminent one of the hypostatic union, the union of the divine and human natures. This makes Him the Holy of Holies, and involves all divine and human perfections and graces; it excludes the possibility of sin or deficiency, just as the fulness of light is the exclusion of darkness ; it makes Our Lord the supreme object of divine love. This grace, as being infinite, was not susceptible of increase. Neither could the blessedness and happiness of Our Lord be increased, as He always enjoyed the full vision of the Divinity. Our Lord therefore required no further impulse of grace to help Him in His miracles and works of virtue. This completeness of Our Lord's graces is the source of all the graces bestowed on mankind. He is the head in which they all center, and from thence they are transmitted to all parts of the mystical body, to His Blessed Mother first, who was full of grace, and thence to us. "Of His fulness we all have received, and grace for grace" (John i. 16). Address Our Lord with the Psalmist . "Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured forth on Thy lips; therefore hath God blessed Thee forever (Ps. xliv. 3). He will communicate His graces to you according to your love for Him.
