It comes down, I think, to a personal relationship with Christ that is renewed and enriched everyday by His action in the Church as well as in our hearts. I have trouble articulating this but it seems that my experience of the Church is one in which I am at once drawn closer to Jesus but also challenged to approach Him. It’s both passive and active but intensely personal. Tradition does not stand between me and Jesus so much as provide a way to grow closer to Him.

2 Thess 2:15 I have always thought was the clearest instruction in support of Sacred Tradition. Even the KJV gets it right. Oh well...guess I’m just a dumb Cath-lick
