Weekly Devotion

“Whenever we speak of the heart, we mean the whole person. Only at heart are we whole. The heart stands for that center of our being where we are one with ourselves, one with all others, one with God. The heart is ever restless in the quest for God, and yet, deep down, it is ever at home in God. To live from the heart means to live out of the fullness of this longing and belonging. And that means to live fully.”

–David Steindl-Rast, Gratefulness, the Heart of Prayer
