Part XXI
Lord clean our hearts and minds to make a home in us for eternity!
Jesus was very zealous about the House of God and the Kingdom of God. This is showing how our heart should be, all kind of worldly desires the natural inclinations and works of darkness be omitted. He is asking us to prepare ourselves in repentance when we approach him in the Holy Sacraments. 13 When the time of the Jewish Passover was near Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14 and in the Temple he found people selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting there. 15 Making a whip out of cord, he drove them all out of the Temple, sheep and cattle as well, scattered the money changers’ coins, knocked their tables over 16 and said to the dove sellers, ‘Take all this out of here and stop using my Father’s house as a market.’ 17 Then his disciples remembered the words of scripture: I am eaten up with zeal for your house. Jn 2:13-17. Jesus is throwing away all unclean spirits that come in the way of keeping his spiritual temple holy. Our heart is the temple of the Holy Spirit. There are many evil inclinations in human nature but we have to nurture divine action in us. When we allow Jesus to work in us through His Holy Spirit, the Spirit will direct our lives ! The Advocate has been promised to us. Let us give ourselves to Him.
Lord clean our hearts and minds to make a home in us for your eternity!
