“Who can duly adore that Love which will open the high gates to a
prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting
his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape? The words compelle
intrare, compel them to come in, have been so abused by wicked men that
we shudder at them; but, properly understood, they plumb the depth of
the Divine mercy. The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of
man, and His compulsion is our liberation.”
---C.S Lewis
