Happy Valentine’s Day!
I am not a big fan of the overly romanticized notions of this day. I am not a big fan of the consumerist mentality that equates care with cash spent. BUT…

I am a big fan of love - new love, young love, old love, God’s love. Love of family, love of friends, love of a good book, love of GOD, … love, love, love, love. I love these words about love by the Jesuit priest, Pedro Arrupe. May they be a blessing to you, as well.

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 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.
