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.
