“We are invited to be God’s intimate companions and sharers of the divine nature. The issue is whether we’ll consent. That’s all we have to do, ultimately—allow ourselves to be loved unconditionally, and so be empowered to meet the real needs of everyone in the human family, past, present and to come.” —Father Thomas Keating
