Purity of heart demands prayer and practice. We keep our communication to the Lord open through our prayer and we practice to be pure. This is our defense against the world… to have a pure heart. The battle lies within the human heart and it demands practice….. If we want the intention to be pure, we practice it. Above all, submit to the Holy Spirit, do not resist.
When we desire to become pure, we teach ourselves to be attuned to the demands of God’s holiness. It enables us to see God and be like Him. When we desire to serve, it demands time on our part. Our desires are accompanied with demands but when the heart is pure the demands that accompany in serving our neighbours and the community, no matter how hard, become love.
