In the Bible the word "heart" has multiple meanings. Not only refers to the affective and sensitive, if not sentimental, but also refers to the cognitive aspect, including the share of free will. There are many aspects we could mention: the heart is knowledge, love, freedom, courage, strength, tenacity, etc. So there are words composed of the Latin root "cor, cordis, heart. Remember, for example, that is typical of memory, and yet remember is to 're-cut', ie passing through the heart. The heart and center of all man's psychic life: intellectual, volitional and emotional.
Agree, agree, and similar expressions have the same root "cor" heart. French is a common expression to say that memory you know one thing: "Il sait par coeur him." Know something "par coeur" by heart, in French to say "I know by heart," it is well treated, well understood.
In Deuteronomy we find the famous text known as beautiful and says: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your power, and bear deep in the heart all these commandments which I give you today. " (Cf. 6.5 to 6). All this is, soul, mind, strength, heart, intelligence, are synonymous, are concepts really repetitive to say the same thing. In short, in Scripture the word 'heart' means a whole person, whole person, the human being (cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, 368). Rarely refers only to the human heart, because it makes no sense a heart of flesh alone. More specifically "heart" means the person's inner life, precisely because the heart is inside, the heart beats express their own feelings of this or that person. And still more concrete, if possible, especially the heart symbolizes love. Hence, then, that the Person of Jesus, ie, the Heart of Jesus, the inner life of Jesus, his love is supremely say "Heart of Jesus' words:" Love "of Jesus, God (as God) and human (and male), according to the two natures in the unity of Person.
