"Long ago and far away, an ordinary man called John laid his head on the breast of Christ and listened to the heartbeats of the Lord. Who can venture to guess what that man felt as he heard the beat of that mighty heart? None of us can ever be in his place but all of us could hear - if we would but listen - the heartbeats of God, the song of love that He sings to us, who He has loved so much.
If we but meditated on the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, we would not only hear His heartbeats, we would hear our own hearts beating in unison with His. We would be united with our Lord and our God. God's heart is the only true resting place for all of us, the real oasis to which God calls us. But the key to His heart is identification with Him and with all those He calls His little ones.
This deep love of humanity requires an enlargement of heart that is so great that we could not aspire to it unless God showed us the way. We must pray for that enlargement of heart."
(Servant of God Catherine de Hueck Doherty from Donkey Bells, Advent and Christmas)
