Participate with Faith, Hope, and Love

"It is a gift of participation in the very life of God.  Its inherent character is best described by three overlapping characteristics:  faith, hope and love.  We rightly called them the supernatural virtues because they were a "participation in the very life of God" as opposed to a natural talent."  (p. 117, Richard Rohr, Jesus' Plan for a New World)

Somethings are natural, somethings are not.
Supernatural is not natural.  It's about nature.  It's from God.
When I read Rohr's words, "participation in the very life of God," I was struck by the awesomeness of that.  We can participate with God when we participate with faith, hope, and love.  Why don't we participate with it more?
