DIOCESE OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS

SPIRITUAL FORMATION FOR A ZEALOUS HEART

PURITY

1) WHAT IS PURITY OF HEART?

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they

shall see God.”

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (paragraph 2518-19) tells us:

“Pure in heart” refers to those who have attuned their intellects and wills to the

demands of God’s holiness, chiefly in three areas: - charity - chastity - love

of truth and orthodoxy of faith

There is a connection between purity of heart, of body and of faith

Purity of heart is the precondition of the vision of God.

Even now, it enables us to see according to God, to accept others as

“neighbours”…

Purity of heart aids in our ultimate goal of seeing God, and in our immediate

circumstances of seeing othersthrough God’s eyes

2) AS A CHILD

The innocence of a child allows an unencumbered view of the world

We have to let go of selfish motives, and preconceived notions, and be willing to

share the Gospel with purity of intention

3) SEEK THE INTERCESSION OF OUR BLESSED MOTHER

The Blessed Virgin Mary is always there to accompany us on our journey.

She is an incredible example of purity of intention, and purity of heart.

When we seek her help and intercession, Mary is able to guide us in our

conversations and interactions with those who do not yet know her Son.

PRAYER: Ask for the grace to approach others with the pure intention of sharing God’s love with them.

ACTION: Make a resolution to pray the rosary daily and seek Mary’s intercession.
