Today is the feast of this 17th century priest who legacy includes this beautiful Prayer to the Sacred Heart, which expresses our aspiration to holiness:
O Heart all loveable and all loving of my Savior, be the Heart of my heart,
the Soul of my soul, the Spirit of my spirit, the Life of my life
and the sole principle of all my thoughts, words and actions,
of all the faculties of my soul and of all my senses, both interior and exterior.
Amen.
A simple authentic formula for happiness...
...is found near the end of this brief, inspiring interview. (My quietly joyful brother Brian of beloved memory, suffered and died from the same disease).
