state of grace

Soul without sin

A state of grace is a condition of being free from sin and in favor with God, particularly in Christian theology after confession and absolution.

More broadly, it describes a period of exceptional blessing, harmony, or good fortune: For those few months, everything aligned—we were in a state of grace.

The phrase suggests a temporary, almost magical reprieve from ordinary struggles.
