Theophylact of Ohrid, on Heb 13:25

“Grace be with you all. Amen.”

“Since "grace" is something common, he asks for it generally for "all" — both for teachers and for those governed. What then is grace? The remission of sins, purification, the communion of the Spirit. How then could it be with you? If you do not neglect it and if you lead a life worthy of it. For it remains with us when we do good deeds; but it departs when we do not live according to the commandment of the One who grants it to us. But, knowing grace and what we have received through it, let us not offend in our life the One who has bestowed upon us such great blessings; but, glorifying Him with good deeds and showing that He sent down this grace not upon the ungrateful and unappreciative, let us take hold of it in our souls by the power of Christ Himself — the Benefactor of our souls. To Him be glory, and to the Father, together with the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.”
