“The human heart is not shaped like a valentine heart, perfect and
regular in contour; it is slightly irregular in shape as if a small
piece of it were missing out of its side. The missing part may very well
symbolize a piece that a spear tore out of the universal heart of
humanity on the Cross, but it probably symbolizes something more. It may
very well mean that when God created each human heart
,
he kept a small sample of it in heaven, and sent the rest of it into
the world, where it would each day learn the lesson that it could never
be really happy, that it could never be really wholly in love, that it
could never be really whole-hearted until it rested with the Risen
Christ in an eternal Easter.” ~Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Manifestations of
Christ)
Happy Easter Friday!
