The lives of the disciples of Jesus were changed by the experience of knowing him.
We do not experience him or know him as they did; yet our experience of him changes us too.
As Pedro Arrupe wrote, it influences everything.
Fall in Love
Nothing is more practical than
finding God, 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 do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends,
what you read, whom 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.
