In today's Gospel, Jesus reminds his disciples that what makes a person impure is not the food that comes into his body but the thoughts that come out of him. The desire to commit sins comes from our heart. We should not be concerned with the food we eat but about the desires and thoughts that come from our hearts. Our hearts should be pure. We should not entertain thoughts and dsires that lead us to sin.Of course, we are sinful people, fragile and weak. Thoughts and desires arise in our hearts. But through our prayers, through our opneness to the Lord, through His grace, we can overcome the power of sin.Through our repentance, we can ask for forgivness for the sins we have committed.
We shalls strive to be forgiving and loving, kind and helpful.
O Lord, have mercy on me. Make understand your ways in my life. I am a sinful person. My heart harbors unholy thoughts. Make me pure. Help me to be your humble servant. Transform me .Change me. Ignore my sins and waeknesses.Give me the grace to be faithful to you all the time in my life.
