The Heart: the spiritual center ( Sister Magdalen )
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind " ( Luke 10:27 ).
Christ put the heart first in His commandment. The heart is the most personal component of a human being. Our brains and our minds reflect in their way the state of our heart ( Matt. 15:19, Mark 7:21 ). Our ideas, our philosophical systems,our cosmologies, our world views, are nothing else but the history of our hearts.
As we develop spiritually, our intellect no longer remains separated, exiled in the brain. Mind and heart are united in a re-integrated person.
