than finding God,
i.e. than falling in love in quite absolute
final way

What are you in love with,
what seizes your imagination,
will effect everything.
It will decide what will get you out of bed 
in the morning,
what to do with your evenings,
how to 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. Provincial's address to Maryland Providence Jesuits, 1980
