Matthew 5: 8

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”

LECTIO & MEDITATIO
Purity ‘in heart’ indicates the kind of purity to which Jesus is alluding as the words ‘in spirit’ indicated the kind of poverty he meant.
The poor in spirit are the spiritually poor as distinct from those whose poverty is only material. From whom, then, are the pure in heart being distinguished?
Most interpretation of purity in heart is an expression for inward purity, for the quality of those who have been cleansed from moral – as opposed to ceremonial.

Only the pure in heart will see God, see him now with the eye of faith and see his glory in the hereafter, for only the utterly sincere can bear the dazzling vision.

CONTEMPLATIO / PRAYER

Lord Jesus, search my heart and make it pure that I may see your glory in my life.
Amen!
