The Weakness of God: A Theology Of The Event (2006, p122)
God calls us before we call upon God, calling up what is best and highest in us. In that sense God pursues us, preys upon us, or even prays to us, inasmuch as God calls upon, provokes, and invokes us. The name of God is the name of what we desire, of everything that we desire, but it is also the name is what desires us, of what desires everything of us.....We are called by God, which is our vocation, even as we call upon God, which is our invocation. We subsist in the space between these calls.
