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.

Summary

This quote by Pedro Arrupe encapsulates the transformative power of finding God or falling in love in an absolute way. When we are deeply in love or have a profound spiritual connection, it becomes the driving force behind our thoughts, actions, and decisions. It shapes our priorities, influencing the way we spend our time, who we associate with, and what we value. Love, whether with God or another person, becomes the guiding principle that determines our motivations, passions, and ultimately the direction of our lives. By choosing to cultivate and nurture this love, our entire existence becomes profoundly influenced and purposeful.
