Grace is something that an individual can see about their own suffering and then use to their advantage. It is not something that can be a rationalization for allowing another human being to suffer. You have to listen to the level at which another person is suffering.
When somebody is hungry, you give them food. As my guru said, "God comes to the hungry person in the form of food." You give them food, and then, when they've had their belly filled, they may be interested in questions about God.
Even though you know from, say, Buddhist training, or whatever spiritual training you have had, that the root cause of suffering is ignorance about the nature of dharma. Giving somebody a dharma lecture when they are hungry is just an inappropriate methodology in ending suffering.
