Seeing through your heartSeeing through your heart GosnellsGosnellsGosnells Catholic Catholic Catholic ParishParishParish

St Paul, in today’s reading from his Letter to the Ephesians, speaks of seeing with “the eyes of your heart.” Paul reminds us that it is through the eyes of our heart, not the eyes of our head, that we see the glory of God, and know the hope to which God has called us and the riches of his glorious inheritance. Paul recognises that it is with the eyes of our heart that we truly see.

The little prince in Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s enchanting book, The Little Prince, expresses this same truth when he explains: “Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

The renowned 17th-century French philosopher, Blaise Pascal, also captured something of Paul’s thought when he wrote, "The heart has its reasons that reason does not know". Pascal recognised that the heart understands things not by intellectual endeavor but by intuition, instinct, sensitivity, and affection. In this way, it leads us to knowledge and understanding that is deep and subtle and beyond mere rationality. The heart leads us not simply to intellectual clarity but to wisdom and insight and to moral sensibility. It leads us to faith, hope and love. It engenders a sense of justice and practical commitment to what is right and good.

The eyes of our head are, of course, part of the process by which we know and understand the world. But, as the Little Prince knew, what is essential – such things as love, friendship, hope, faith – are invisible to those eyes.

It is with the eyes of the heart that we comprehend the riches of God’s grace and the abundance of blessings that God has lavished on us and discern the presence of God all around us. As St Ignatius of Loyola recognised, with the eyes of the heart we find God in all things.

With the eyes of the heart we also sense the mystery of God’s will and purpose for ourselves and our world. Moreover, we see then that each of us is called to play our part in God’s plan from all eternity to gather up all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth.

Like the 8th century prophet Amos in today’s first reading and the apostles in today’s gospel who are sent out on mission by Jesus, two by two, taking nothing with them except a staff, we too are sent into the world as the Lord’s disciples. Like them, we too may well feel ill-equipped and unskilled for the role. And like them and like Jesus himself, we may face resistance and rejection, but, with the eyes of our heart, we know that it is God’s mission we serve and that God is always with us.
