Cor ad cor loquitur

Danny gave the Brothers of the Little Oratory a talk about St Francis de Sales, who was a close friend of the Oratorian Blessed Juvenal Ancina, and founded the Oratory at Thonon. It was from the writings of Francis de Sales that our Cardinal, St John Henry Newman, drew his motto, Cor ad cor loquitur, Heart speaks unto heart. Above the altar of Newman's private chapel in his rooms in Birmingham hangs a portrait of St Francis de Sales.
