Renewed :)

Nothing is more practical
than finding God,
that is,
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 will read,
who you know, what breaks your heart,
what amazes you with
joy and gratitude.

Fall in love.
stay in love.
and It will decide everything.

-Fr. Pedro Arrupe S.J.

I am renewed. Today what I prayed for in mass (aside from the usual) was for Him to keep this fire burning. The last words of the priest from his homily was, "That we may be gifts to those who are around us." Maybe that's the best present we can give our friends...ourselves :)
