We never grow closer to God when we just live life.
It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.
--Francis Chan
And this is faith: to welcome God-Love; to welcome this God-Love who gives himself in Christ, who moves us in the Holy Spirit; to let ourselves be encountered by him and to trust in him. This is Christian life. To love, to encounter God, to seek God; and He seeks us first; He encounters us first.
--Pope Francis, June 7, 2020
