One key aspect of this interaction is that Jacob refuses to let go until God blesses him. When speaking about blessings we sometimes hear people refer to God's grace asa blessing. It is important that we understand the distinction between these two. When we speak of receiving God's grace we are receiving something that we can not and did not earn. It is a gift that is freely given to us that we cannot work for or earn. Blessing on the other hand is also a gift from God, but in this case it is a reward or recognition for staying true to God. Having this understanding of a blessing sheds new light on Jacob's interaction with God. Can you think of examples in your own life where you have wrestled for your blessing?  \nDiving Deeper  \nDid you know that there are two types of Grace? There is sanctifying grace and actual grace. Sanctifying grace is how God connects us to the supernatural and dwells within our souls. It transforms us and makes us holy. Natural grace is grace that actson us from the outside. It doesn't affect our soul. When it comes to actual grace we get to decide if we will cooperate with actual grace or ignore it!  \nLearning Links  \nBelow is a link to a more in depth article explaining [https://www.catholic365.com/a](https://www.catholic365.com/a)[rticle/11932/grace-vs-](rticle/11932/grace-vs-)[blessings.html](blessings.html)  \nUpcoming Events November 6th Faith Formation  \nReadings  \nExodus 1-2, 3-4:23, 5:1-13, 11-12:39, 13:17-15:10, 16:1-18, 17:1-7  \nFind links on our Website [www.sacredheartsg.com](www.sacredheartsg.com)  \nWhat are we Reading?  \nThis week we continue to see the bloodline of Abraham grow through his son Isaac. We are introduced to Isaac's sons Esau and Jacob, and even later in the story to Jacob's son Joseph.  \nWhat we learn through their stories is that even when people treat each other poorly, God can still use those situations to bring about good.  \nJoseph also teaches us the power of forgiveness, when he not only forgives his brothers for selling him into slavery, but also reconciles with them.","cbCaisdiqzBwE8c6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisdiqzBwE8c6","pdf",323400,"English","# Catechism Nugget\n## Blessing vs Grace\n## Diving Deeper\n## Learning Links\n## Upcoming Events\n## Readings\n## What We Are Reading","[{\"question\":\"What is the difference between God’s grace and a blessing?\",\"answer\":\"Grace is something freely given that cannot be earned, while a blessing is a gift from God tied to staying true to Him.
