Don’t know enough about music to judge this, but thanks for sharing.

I am concerned because this site, catholic planet seems to promote unapproved apparitions such as medjugorje and emmitsburg.

As far as grace goes I know of actual and sanctifying. I suppose ‘ordinary grace’ would come under actual. Here is a link on graces.

Here is an excerpt from Benedict XVI’s Homily for All Saints’ Day 2006-11-01 ]
But how can we become saints, friends of God? An initial response to this question is this: To be saints it is not necessary to perform extraordinary deeds and works, nor is it necessary to possess exceptional charisms. But this only tells us what sainthood is not. The positive answer is that to become a saint it is above all necessary to listen to Jesus and then to follow him and not lose heart in the face of difficulties.
