Starting from the heart (Julian of Norwich / Pope Francis)


All shall be well, and all shall be well,
and all manner of things shall be well…
For there is a force of love
moving through the universe
that holds us fast and will never let us go.

--Julian of Norwich

    It is only by starting from the heart that our communities will succeed in uniting and reconciling differing minds and wills, so that the Spirit can guide us in unity as brothers and sisters. Reconciliation and peace are also born of the heart. The heart of Christ is ‘ecstasy’, openness, gift and encounter. In that heart, we learn to relate to one another in wholesome and happy ways, and to build up in this world God’s kingdom of love and justice. Our hearts, united with the heart of Christ, are capable of working this social miracle. 

--Pope Francis,
Dilexit nos,
Paragraph 28
