Scripture, Reflection and Prayer 04/22/2009

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
- Mt 5:8

Reflection: All the pure in heart are, in a certain sense, mystics, because, as Christ proclaimed, they are candidates to "see God." But we should all be pure in heart, all good, simple, and childlike. We should all be able to want, be able to yearn, be able to receive.
- Pope Paul VI


Prayer:
Lord Jesus, this world so often teaches us to become complicated and cynical. Enable me to enjoy the simple things that are so easy to take for granted.
