What a find. In only three minutes, we can see "The Cloistered Heart" in living, moving color.. and right where we live it.
If you only look at one thing to find out what is meant by a "cloistered heart," I suggest that this video be that one thing.
We do not (usually) sing outwardly as we go through the world.
But what is happening in our hearts?
"No exterior thing hinders my union with God." (St. Faustina)
"How happy you will be if in the midst of the world you keep Jesus Christ in your heart!" (St. Francis de Sales)
"Always
remember… to retire at various times into the solitude of your own
heart even while outwardly engaged in discussions or transactions with
others. This mental solitude cannot be violated by the many people who
surround you since they are not standing around your heart but only
around your body. Your heart remains alone in the presence of God.” (St. Francis de Sales) "May nothing distract me from You, neither noise nor diversions. O my Master, I would so love to live with You in silence. But what I love above all is to do Your will, and since You want me still to remain in the world, I submit with all my heart for love of You." (Elizabeth of the Trinity)
