Falling in Love with God

Falling in Love with God

Fr. Pedro Arrupe writes,

“Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in a 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 mornings, 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.”

Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ
Father General, Society of Jesus
1965-1983
