In today's Gospel reading from Mark 7, Jesus said to the crowd, "Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person; but the things that come out from within are what defile. From within the man, from his heart, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and they defile." That's a lot of things to worry about! But no worry, for all you need is a pure heart for you to remain clean. To achieve this, seek union with the Lord thru the Holy Eucharist. Once you attain union, the Lord as your housekeeper will keep your heart free of all evils and give you a super sharp conscience to guard it to boot.
