Reflection.

If only the heart was right

we could give so much more.

But, alas, the heart is often empty.

It is often cold and unwelcoming.

It is often weighed down with worry.

It is oftensad and lonely.

It is often in darkness.

It is wounded.

And it is sometimes broken.

We have to heal the wounds of the heart

in order to be able to love.

Lord, touch our hearts and heal them,

So that we may be able to bear the fruits of love. Amen.

*God Bless Fr. Noel. 0872935969
