On-Yomi: オン

Koohii stories:

1) [Codexus] 14-12-2007(221): Grace here is a favor freely bestowed, like a good deed. So to remember this kanji, go to the local shelter, find a big dog pent up in a small cage and adopt him. That will cause a warm feeling in your heart!

2) [fuaburisu] 10-10-2005(111): This kanji tells us that wherever heart is the cause, grace is the consequence. Think of “grace” as a graceful act: something benevolent that comes from the heart.

3) [lifeflaw] 10-12-2008(74): Grace is when you give from your heart to serve a higher cause.

4) [CountPacula] 27-5-2008(38): A grace is a gift whose only cause for being given comes from the heart. WARNING: Do not confuse with graceful (#721 淑) - this kanji and it's meaning have nothing to do with being graceful.

5) [astgtciv] 5-1-2007(30): Grace Kelly died because of her heart condition. I.e., her heart was the cause. It was because of all that dancing… that's how the story goes. But really, what happened is that she accidentally locked in her St. Bernard for 5 days without food, and when she came back home he ripped out and swallowed her heart.
