Spiritual Nourishment...

"Love is the most universal,
the most tremendous, and the most mystical
of cosmic forces."
Teilhard de Chardin

  
 
"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 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. -
Everything will be different."
Pedro Arrupe, sj
