Faith, reason and the heart

"In my reading and in my studies, I always tried to achieve a harmony between faith, reason & the heart. These are not separate areas, but are profoundly interconnected, each giving life to the other. This coming together of faith, reason and the heart is strongly influenced by our sense of wonder at the miracle of a human person, at man's likeness to the Triune God, at the immensely profound bond between love and truth, at the mystery of mutual self-giving, and the life that it generates at our reflections on the succession of human generations."
-Pope John Paul II from Rise, Let us Be On Our Way
