Wednesday of week 5 in Ordinary Time
Gospel – Mark 7:14-23
“It is what comes out of a man that makes him unclean”. This is so true, and Jesus explains it so well. “For it is from within, from men’s hearts, that evil intentions emerge – fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within and make a man unclean”. This must very clear in our mind to have the clear understanding of what destroys us. It’s not something from outside that destroys us. But it what we keep in our heart. Our heart is the place for God. Our heart is the seat of Holy Spirit. But we can also make our heart the seat of all negativities. Whenever we think negative or bad, we are creating in our heart that which will come out of us and make us unclean. So, it’s imperative to keep our hearts clean and in case we make it dirty, we must make it clean again by the sacrament of confession. It’s not others who destroy us. It is we who destroy ourselves. Let’s reflect: Let’s makes our hearts clean by making it an abode of Holy Spirit.
