Something like Godde loves us into loving Her back, a sort of back and forth of love... I find this very grounding and liberating.<br /><br />I usually like Richard Rohr.

I'm not sure the Roman Catholic church has the franchise on pushing itself into a corner any more than the rest of our Christian denominations do. We/I feel inadequate to relay the richness of my faith with young people in a meaningful enough way to "capture" or just "intrigue" them to want to know more about Jesus.
