No words could describe the overwhelming joy that reconciliation brings. This is exactly how joyful God feels when we find our way back to him. That is how important each person is to God.
Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute way, 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 spend your weekends, what you read, what you know that breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love and it will decide everything. Pedro Arrupe, SJ
