The Church imposes nothing; she only proposes, she proposes like a lover to the beloved.

Love demands effort and a personal commitment to the will of God.

He has chosen you, in a mysterious but real way, to make you saviors with Him and like Him. Yes, Christ calls you, but He calls you in truth. His call is demanding, because He invites you to let yourselves be 'captured' by Him completely, so that your whole lives will be seen in a different light.
