In our meditation today, let us strive to know His Heart. This is all we need....

"A soul which has not learned to know the Heart of God profoundly, which is moved only by fear, has neither strength nor vigor; but once it has plunged its regard into the Heart of God, once it enters into the way of love, that soul is conquered. Oh, the happy conquests of the Heart of Jesus! 
"We have but this one thing to do: study to comprehend His adorable Heart, to penetrate the mysteries of His tenderness, and to unite our poor hearts with His Heart. In that will consist our happiness for life and for eternity." 

~ Almire Pichon, SJ, Seeds of the Kingdom, 1961.
