"Choose life, then,
that you and your descendants may live, by loving the LORD, your God,
heeding his voice, and holding fast to him.
For that will mean life for you,
a long life for you to live on the land that the LORD swore
he would give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” Dt 30:15-20
The heart is the dwelling-place where I
am, where I live; according to the Semitic or Biblical expression, the
heart is the place "to which I withdraw." The heart is our hidden
center, beyond the grasp of our reason and of others; only the Spirit of
God can fathom the human heart and know it fully. The heart is the
place of decision, deeper than our psychic drives. It is the place of
truth, where we choose life or death. It is the place of encounter,
because as image of God we live in relation: it is the place of
covenant. (CCC 2563)
