"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?
