From Morning Prayer:

 

Saint Eulalia, Virgin, Martyr

 

 

"... Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him, since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?"

 

(Thus he declared all foods clean.)

 

And He said,

 

"What comes out of a man is what defiles a man. 

 

For from within, out of the heart of man, come

evil thoughts,

fornication,

theft,

murder,

adultery,

coveting,

wickedness,

deceit,

licentiousness,

envy,

slander,

pride,

foolishness.

 

All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man."

 

(from the Gospel of Mk. 7: 14-23)

 

I pray that this text finds you following God's commandments.

 

I pray that we may all have had a day of heeding what comes out of our hearts.

 

Please pray for all those listed in all the parts of the litany from Monday (Part 1)(Part 2)(Part 3)(Part 4).

 

Humility, Obedience, and Glorifying God  🙏 ✌️
