The Divine Heart

“He was moved with compassion.”
— Matt. 9:36

“There is much more reality in a living loving care of us than we are aware of. The Lord takes pains to assure us of His love, to persuade us of His love. "Ye are of more value than many sparrows."”

“"Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are." He puts them under the shelter of the name "holy Father." He looked for them to be kept with all the Father's tenderness.”
