In Praise of the Heart of Jesus

This poem by Joyce Rupp has touched me. It is entitled, “In Praise of the heart of Jesus.”

The heart of Jesus

Nearest to the Father’s heart

A wellspring full of love

Wholeness for my brokenness

Home for my wandering

Fullness for my emptiness

Loving care for my selfishness

Healing for my hurts

Faith for my mediocrity

Courage for my fears

The heart of Jesus

Nearest to the Father’s heart

Drawing all of me to him reaching from his heart to

Mine,

Tender, compassionate, true,

Wanting one thing only:

My loving response.
