Vita Dulce

This is one of the favorite pictures I have of my wife. It was taken in a small French town near the Mediterranean coast on our honeymoon. I don't know why I like it so much ... I just do.

This particular devotion and feast have been familiar to me since I was a young child. I don't know if there was any elderly German relative who did not have a depiction of the Sacred Heart hanging somewhere in their home. Over time, the meaning of this feast has become more clear to me: The Heart of God has beat in The Heart of Man. The essence of life is to allow this reality to be present in each of our lives; To allow the Heart of God to beat within each one of us.
