What does the Latin phrase 'Redite ad Cor' mean? I saw this inscription last weekend in Italy, beneath a statue of either a saint or possibly Jesus.

In support of wahoowa94's post:

Return to the heart. (3) By giving them this injunction he means that they are not of sound understanding. Others render it, "Recall." This is feeble and inappropriate, and, a little before, he had bid them remember, and will immediately repeat the same thing. Now, therefore, he rather bids them "return to the heart," because forgetfulness of God's benefits was a sort of madness.
