While reading Sacred Heart by Bernard of Clairvaux, my heart was opened to the absolute beauty that comes from Jesus dying on the cross. Bernard's heart was torn open by this realization as well. He seems to finally understand what it actually meant for Jesus to die on the cross and the pain that he went through. I love reading him go through this revelation. His astounding new understanding is beautiful to read about and "walk" through with him.

"Sacred Head", there is no doubting it, is an emotional, beautiful piece. I enjoyed this week's readings quite a bit. Each one had its own flare, be it in logic or emotion.
