Sunday Meditation~Fall In Love, Stay In Love
The priest who preached the homilies at Mass while I was on retreat read this at the end of Mass on our last day of retreat. It was written by Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J. I thought I would share it for my Sunday Meditation this week. It is so beautifully true.
Fall In Love, Stay In Love
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 will 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.

To fall in love with God is the greatest of all romances; to seek Him, the greatest adventure; to find Him, the greatest human achievement. ~St. Augustine
Have a Blessed Sunday!
