Fr. Dwight Longenecker:
'What I mean by the romance of religion is not the sentimental meaning of romance--all chocolates and candles and heaving bosoms--instead I use the word 'romance' to refer to the great romances--those stories of heroes and quests and slaying of dragons and rescuing of fair damsels. To embark on this sort of romance is to step out of boat and walk on the waves. It is to take the step of faith, the leap into the unknown. It is to "cast all your care upon Him." and walk once again by faith and not by sight.'

"the leap into the unknown"
Slaying dragons is easy. Shield, sword, lance, a few gashes and burns. Don.
Understanding women, and that kind of romance. It's not only a leap into the unknown, but an elusive unknown perplexity I find myself further from understanding bit by bit and day by day.
