To follow Christ is an option, a choice, a call, a vocation, and we are totally free to say yes or no or maybe. You do not have to do this to make God love you. That is already taken care of. You do it to love God back and to love what God loves and how God loves!
—from the book Eager to Love: The Alternative Way of Francis of Assisi by Richard Rohr, OFM
