Poem by Pedro Arrupe, SJ

I love this quote by Pedro Arrupe, SJ:
Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination,will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love; stay in love,and it will decide everything.
Pedro Arrupe s.j.

  5. It is a decision of the heart to have faith in God. To live in the light of love and trust God through all the temptations of fear. Arrupe reminds us of our connection in this beautiful prayer of guidance.
