I read a speech delivered by Dr. Fabian Dayrit which I hope to reprint here in my blog. (I wrote him to ask permission a few minutes ago.)In the meantime, following was a quotation from Fr. Arrupe with which he chose to end it:
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 will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who (sic) 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.
My personal wish after reading the above is this: Would that married couples keep this idea to heart, so with teachers, doctors, government officials, and so with everyone who embarks on anything with noble intentions at the start keep this to heart, till they breathe their last.
