Grace and devotion. Grace strengthens us to do well....mostly accomplished by doing good actions or deeds.  Devotion, however, calls us to a more higher form of love. Grace calls our awareness to the commandments but devotion sets forth a fire inside of us to practice them frequently and diligently

The two names given are Grace and Charity.  Grace is given by God for adornment of the soul.  Charity is Divine love given to lead the soul towards love of neighbor.
