Summary:
The notion “primacy of grace”, used by the most recent papal magisterium, is of capital importance for Christian life and the evangelizing action of the Church. Read in the face of the challenges of today's world and in the context of the renewal of the theology of grace, embodied in the papal magisterium itself, this "primacy", from its theological and anthropological significance, allows us to understand the way in which God, communion life in love, comes closer to us and becomes present in the world, to encourage us to build history in goodness and truth.

Abstract: The concept of “primacy of grace”, used by the recent magisterium documents, is of paramount importance to Christian life and the mission of the Church. This primacy, rooted in the magisterium in the past century and understood both in the context of today's challenges and of the theology of the grace renewal, has theological and anthropological relevance. It allows us to understand how God, communion of life and love, encounters us and is present in the world prompting us to build history founded in goodness and truth.
