These were in my email box this morning. I really liked them, so I thought I'd share .

Divine Heart of Love
The Father�s love was so unlimited that he wanted us to know that love and to find in it the fulfillment of our deepest desires. So, he sent us you, dear Lord Jesus, with a human heart big enough to hold all human loneliness and all human anguish. Your heart is not a heart of stone but a heart of flesh; your heart of flesh is not narrowed by human sin and unfaithfulness, but is as wide and deep as divine love itself. Your heart does not distinguish between rich and poor, friend and enemy, female and male, slave and free, sinner and saint. Your heart is open to receive anyone with total, unrestricted love.
--Henri J. M. Nouwen, Heart Speaks to Heart



To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God,
to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination
by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, to
devote the will to the purpose of God.

-- William Temple
