Heart Speaks to Heart: Three Gospel Meditations on Jesus

Heart Speaks to Heart invites readers to accompany Henri J. M. Nouwen on a Holy Week retreat where he sought to deepen his understanding of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. What began as an intellectual pursuit soon became a profoundly personal encounter. Moved by the mystery of God’s love revealed in the Passion and Resurrection of Christ, Nouwen’s focus shifted from studying the Sacred Heart to speaking directly to the heart of Jesus—and listening for his response.

This book gathers the intimate prayers Nouwen wrote during that retreat, offering a window into his faithful yet often painful journey toward greater trust in God amid fear and loneliness. The prologue and epilogue include Nouwen’s reflections on how this collection came to be, inspired by a friend’s deep devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

A tender companion for personal prayer, Heart Speaks to Heart is the perfect read for Lent or any time of the year. guiding readers more deeply into Christ’s love as they prepare for the Paschal Mystery.
