Spiritual passion is not “get me out of this world” but “let me throw myself into life,” swimming daily in the baptismal waters, passionately choosing to be the person God created me to be, emulating the display of perfect humanity, the embodiment of God in Jesus.
-Robert E. Webber, The Divine Embrace: Recovering the Passionate Spiritual Life (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Books, 2006), 176-177.
