So says Sr. Joan in this in-depth and powerful look at what our hearts can attain. She says that the ideas that fill our hearts determine the way we live our lives. Those are the things we draw on in those moments when we need to reach down deep inside ourselves for character, courage, endurance, and hope. In this lovely book, Sr. Joan looks at 50 aspects, all of which in some way can fill our hearts and our lives. She talks about a prayerful heart, a peaceful heart, a wise heart, a cosmic heart, a compassionate heart. Each brief chapter offers abundant food for reflection and prayer, and each offers an opportunity to become persons who produce Good from the treasure of the heart (Luke 6:45).
