"The mystery of sharing in the Beloved Sonship of Christ is a foundational element in a man's capacity to receive the Love of the Father and, therefore, his own personal mission. If he does not receive this identity and come to savor and contemplate it, the man will make decisions that reflect a search for the Father's love, rather than make decisions in the light of such love." 
~ Deacon James Keating, Christ is the Sure Foundation, 2
