"From the brief splendor of the passing thought or wish which prompts to repentance or lights the way to higher virtue, even to the undimmed and steady radiance of the holiest soul's highest sanctity, all come from the fire kindled by the Heart of Christ."

~ Fr. Francis P. Donnelly, SJ, "The Heart of the Gospel", imprimatur 1911.

I'm experiencing technical difficulties in uploading a picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. But He knows everything, and He is allowing this because it is best. Maybe it is better for us to imagine the Love in His Eyes as He extends His Arms to us...to imagine the warm, rich sound of His Voice calling to us...to imagine the beautiful smile that plays about His Lips, as He invites us to come to Him. 

St. Ignatius wanted to "set the world on fire"...let us set the world on fire with the flames of love kindled by the Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

  A Photo I took in Siena, Italy last summer. Happy Feast of St. Catherine of Siena, everyone! As you see, I'm not regularly posting her...
