This week's meditation: 

        "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 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.
                                                                    -Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ 


Reflection:  What is it that you love? What keeps you getting up in the morning? What makes your heart beat with joy? This week, make a list of the things that you love. Maybe it is God, a friend, a grandparent, or a beloved pet. Or perhaps it is your church community, your work for justice or something you read recently. Post the list someplace in your living space and make sure you connect with your list of loves on a regular basis.
