"We lost sight of our original union with God and the continuing call to be like God. In fact, we became so busy keeping out of hell that we forgot that we were on our way to heaven. We started loving God for the gifts we would receive or the punishment we would avoid.
"But is that truly love? What about the wonder and the possibility of being simply and utterly in love, the only reason being that once before a burning bush the One Who Is said, "I Am Who I Am." The bush still burns. What about our love? How bright is our flame?" Macrina Wiederkehr, "A Tree Full of Angels"
