When Your Heart is Cracked Wide Open: Navigating With Your Heart Through the Challenges of Life

Way of the heart

---

But the world we share is wounded by painful contradictions that cause death and suffering. Life and love are often suffocated by violence and selfishness. The weak and vulnerable are crushed by the boots of the powerful. Natural resources are depleted. There is too much sadness and loneliness. We have walked away from the paths of the Lord and from his project for humanity.

The Father has not forsaken us in this broken world. He has spoken of his love many times and in various ways through the prophets, and now, in these final times he has spoken to us by his Son made man, Jesus, the Christ cf. In Him, the Father has joined our history to his own history in order to restore creation and heal our wounded humanity.

In Him, who gave his life for us and whom the Father rose from the dead, he has forgiven our sins. With Him we learn to recognize the Spirit of God working in this world, bringing forth something new, even in the midst of suffering and difficulties. Jesus Christ calls us his friends and invites us to a personal and intimate covenant of love with him.

Our mission

He is alive to intercede for us, actively drawing us to him. He sees us as a precious treasure of his heart. Friendship with him will make us see the world with his eyes, we will be one with his joys and sufferings, and we will offer ourselves to work with him for our brothers and sisters. He is always with us and shall be until the end of age. Out of his unlimited love for us, God desires to inhabit our hearts. Jesus left this surprising promise to his disciples before his death. He wants to dwell in each one of us.

Saint Paul gives witness to this by saying it is no longer he, but Christ living in him.

This is the ultimate horizon towards which the Spirit leads us in our life of faith. I agree to the article! Though even now I am uncertain in distinguishing heart is saying what.. This article is so good, that even I, who was listening to my heart all my life, still found so much new in it that I was looking for. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It really helps me to understand the meaning of The ability to listen to the heart. Steve, as a writer myself I understand how our best reward is in knowing the effectiveness of our words. We all get stuck in logical thinking these days and we too often leave that door open for fear to walk right in whenever it wants to.

Your article has given me the push I needed to truly move forward with a dream I have had almost all of my life.

All the best to you. Sir thanks for this article. But see… I had completed my m. Now am in trouble to take decision.

Please guide me to take decision. After reading many spiritual books and meeting people on similar spiritual journeys, I realize that no matter it is others or myself, sometimes your intuition and ego might sound similar.

Sometimes i just know something is my intuition, other times, I am not sure where it stems from, and i have been observing closely and also be patient to see how things unfold, to find out what that voice said is right or wrong. One sad truth I noticed is that even for pretty spiritually awakened people, they might still mistaken their ego and blocks, emotions arising from their past experiences, as their intuition, on specific areas they may still have blocks, fears that they are unaware of.

If it is as simple as long logic or voices, it is not hard to differentiate that it is ego. Most people or books only focus on Ego or logic and Heart or intuition. There's just something about you. Haven't we met before? Sad hours and glad hours, and all hours, pass over; One thing unshaken stays: Nor means a tinseled dream pursuing lovers Find altered by-and-bye, When, with possession, time anon discovers Trapped dreams must die, — For he that visions God, of mankind gathers One manlike trait alone, And reverently imputes to Him a father's Love for his son.

Years, ye shall mix with me!

How to Listen to your Heart

Ye shall grow a part Of the laughing Sea ; Of the moaning heart Of the glittered wave Of the sun-gleam's dart In the ocean-grave. Fair, cold, and faithless wert thou, my own!

For that I love Thy heart of stone! From the heights above To the depths below, Where dread things move,. There is naught can show A life so trustless! Proud be thy crown! Ruthless, like none, save the Sea, alone! And pray that a wreath like a rainbow May slip from the beautiful past, And Crown me again with the sweet, strong love And keep me, and hold me fast. The light came through the window, Straight from the sun above, And so inside my little room There plunged the rays of Love. The daily actions of religious people have accomplished uncounted good deeds throughout history, alleviating suffering, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick.

Religions have brought the comfort of belonging and companionship to many who would otherwise have passed through this life all alone, without glory or adventure. They have not just provided first aid, in effect, for people in difficulties; they have provided the means for changing the world in ways that remove those difficulties.

As Alan Wolfe says, "Religion can lead people out of cycles of poverty and dependency just as it led Moses out of Egypt". There is much for religion lovers to be proud of in their traditions, and much for all of us to be grateful for. The fact that so many people love their religions as much as, or more than, anything else in their lives is a weighty fact indeed.

How to Listen to the Heart?

I am inclined to think that nothing could matter more than what people love. At any rate, I can think of no value that I would place higher. I would not want to live in a world without love. Would a world with peace, but without love, be a better world? Not if the peace was achieved by drugging the love and hate out of us, or by suppression. Would a world with justice and freedom, but without love, be a better world? Not if it was achieved by somehow turning us all into loveless law-abiders with none of the yearnings or envies or hatreds that are wellsprings of injustice and subjugation.

It is hard to consider such hypotheticals, and I doubt if we should trust our first intuitions about them, but, for what it is worth, I surmise that we almost all want a world in which love, justice, freedom, and peace are all present, as much as possible, but if we had to give up one of these, it wouldn't — and shouldn't — be love. But, sad to say, even if it is true that nothing could matter more than love, it wouldn't follow from this that we don't have reason to question the things that we, and others, love.

Love is blind, as they say, and because love is blind, it often leads to tragedy: Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
