Im really not seeing a difference; need help :(

[Odell]

In “The mystery of Predestination” it says; thus, efficacious grace does not compel man’s will, such as Calvinist believe; but neither does its efficacy depend on man’s will, such as most Arminians believe. Rather, efficatious grace elicits the freedom of the will, so that man freely chooses the good and does not want to resist.

How can our free will be efficatiosly elicited so that we willing choose good? What is the difference when Calvinist say efficacious grace compels? I don’t see the difference

A lot of people (even Catholics) do not realize that the Catholic Church teaches any sort of predestination - the concept is so strongly associated with John Calvin.

This Rock has done a couple of good articles explaining the difference:
Predestined for Freedom (by Tim Staples)
A Tiptoe Through the TULIP (by James Akin)

The empty tomb and the linen cloths lying there signify in themselves that God’s power Christ’s body had escaped the bonds of death and corruption. They prepared the disciples to encounter the Risen Lord

These mighty works of god offered to believers in the sacraments of the Church, bear their fruit in the new life of CHrist according to the Spirit.

Worship in the liturgy of t he Mass we express our faith in the real presence of Christ under the species of bread and wine, among other ways as genuflecting or bowing deeply as a sign of adoration. The Catholic Church has always offered and still offers the sacramenr od the Eucharist the cult of adoration, not only during Mass, but also outside of mass,

I understand that Calvinism teaches that there really is no free will. When you are born, you are going to heaven or hell and it’s out of your control, ie, no free will. They believe in double predestination. 1 Tim 2:4 says, “Who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” This means that God wants all men to be saved so He doesn’t desire to send some to hell. Even though God gives us the grace to choose the good, He still doesn’t block our free will.
