Abstract

Abstract This study consists of seven in-depth-interviews about antecedents and consequences of grace experiences analyzed by CQR. Results indicated that situations of difficulty can provide fertile ground for experiencing grace. Opening up in being and doing were considered to be helpful to recognize and actively receive grace. Participants reported growing closer to themselves, others/the Other and life itself. Through cross-analysis a cluster of circular dynamics emerged encompassing virtues serving as interlinking facilitators regarding the giving and receiving of grace in daily life. This study also suggests that grace experiences may be linked with personal growth processes related to meaning making and virtue- and character development.
