Hey Sr. Chau,
We believe Jesus had sanctifying Grace because God has sanctifying Grace thus Jesus exhumes it?

If sanctifying Grace leads to virtue, are people living in mortal sin incapable of living virtuously?

Also, Actualized Grace can come to anyone?

Excellent question. This gets to the heart of the difference between God and creatures.

We don't technically apply modus essendi to the divine nature, because in God, ESSE (act of being) and  MODUS ESSENDI (mode of being ) are ONE AND THE SAME. God IS his very act and mode of being.

Modus essendi is only introduced to understand  how the Word can have a real human nature.

You are right to be alerted by the potential tendency toward modalism here.

Yes, it works both ways!

But keep in mind that this shouldn't be confused with "subsistence." The subsistence of Jesus Christ is the Divine Word (and NOT the human nature)

This is the Greek terminology which means "2-natures" in contrast to the "mia-physis"/ one-nature ("Miaphysis" is the error of "monophysitism"; mia=mono).

In contrast, duo-physitism is the orthodox position and associated with the Antiochene school.

Dear Sr. Chau, St. Thomas teaches that the Divine Person subsists in two natures, divine and human natures. Is it proper if we say that the human nature subsists in the Divine Person?

Dear Sr. Chau, St. Thomas understands nature as modus essendi (mode of being). Can we apply this understanding of nature to the divine nature of the Trinity? If so, it is easy to fall into the heresy of Modalism. So, what is the correct understanding of nature when we talk to about the divine nature of God?

Hi Sr. Chau,
I wonder what do you mean when you said that this council condemned "dou-physis". Thank you.

We are going over this today (4-28). It means "miraculous exchange" (or "admirable commerce," literally). It refers to the work of our salvation: the exchange in which God becomes man so that we can become godly!

Hi Sr. Chau! On the study guide, under Patristic Soteriology, what does "admirabile commercium" mean?

Sister Chau, I wonder if the word pecarre in Posse non pecarre and Non posse peccare are the same in spelling or they are slightly different. Thanks sister.
