Quote on the absolute necessity of falling in love

I picked this up from William Haley (St. Brendan’s-DC) and thought it was well worth sharing:

In a strange way, the words of the late Jesuit leader, Pedro Arrupe, have helped me live this journey. His counsel in dealing with the mystery of life and death was as simple as it was profound: “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 mornings, what you will 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.”

I’m not certain of the source of this quote but will attempt to discover it. If you know, please comment.
