In “Surprised by Joy”, C.S. Lewis comments on his conversation: “I did not then see what is now the most shining and obvious thing; the Divine humility which will accept a convert even on such terms. The Prodigal Son at least walked home on his own two feet. But 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 to escape. The words compollo intraro (meaning: compel them to come in) have been so abused the wicked men that we shudder at them [the words]; but properly understood, they plumb the depth of the Divine mercy.”
