Let Jesus draw you in through the loveliness of his heart. This is a heart that upbraids the impenitent with all the harshness that is appropriate, yet embraces the penitent with more openness than we are able to feel.
It is a heart that walks us into the bright meadow of the felt love of God. It is a heart that drew the despised and forsaken to his feet in self-abandoning hope. It is a heart of perfect balance and proportion, never overreacting, never excusing, never lashing out.
It is a heart that throbs with desire for the destitute. It is heart that floods the suffering with the deep solace of shared solidarity in that suffering. It is heart that is gentle and lowly.
