Midweek Pause — Fall in Love, Stay in LoveThis week, I am attending a Spiritual Formation Training Program, and I have been spending a lot of time thinking about spiritual growth. For me, spiritual growth is not simply about knowing more about God. It is about growing closer to God, loving God more deeply, and learning to live from that love.As I was thinking about this, I thought of our church family—and of one of my favorite prayers, attributed to Father Pedro Arrupe. I wanted to share it with you today.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, 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.— attributed to Pedro Arrupe, S.J.My prayer for you today is simple: Love God. Stay in that love. And let that love shape the way you see your day and the choices you make within it.From Pastor Juhye
