Heart Speaks to Heart: Three Prayers to Jesus (Ave Maria Press, 1989) contains three long prayers addressed by Henri Nouwen to Jesus, centred on the heart of Jesus. They are personal and direct, written in his own voice, and reflect on Jesus's love, his suffering and the invitation to rest in his heart. The book is short and devotional; a later edition was published with an introduction and with reflections for readers.
