The Core Of The Heart Is Love

The Core Of The Heart Is Love Have you ever woken up after a night of tossing and turning over an unresolved issue with a feeling of direction and peace, and then ignored it? St. Joseph teaches us by his actions that if a guardian angel or God himself comes to you to give you direction, follow your heart. When you wake, do as your heart encourages you to do. Your heart, at its core, is love. Matthew 1:16, 18-21, 24 Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, 'Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.' When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife.
