Our Heart: Center of Our Being – Henri Nouwen

I am speaking here about something very, very real. It is about the hidden mystery of the primacy of the heart in our true identity as human beings. Let me say here that by “heart” I do not mean the seat of human emotions in contrast to the mind as the seat of human thought. No, by heart I mean the center of our being where God comes to dwell with us and bring us the divine gifts of trust, hope, and love.
