To See Thee More Clearly

by Food For Thought on October 16, 2012

 

The Pharisees, although astute at observing religious rules and rituals, did not do these things with pure intentions. Jesus clearly saw the envy and pride in their hearts.

It certainly is not easy in our material world to keep our hearts and intentions holy. We cannot rely on our own human frailty to resist sin and temptation. Even if people around us may observe that we are doing what seems right and admirable, the Lord can see straight into our hearts. We cannot be good, pure or holy on our own. We need to pray for the grace to continue following him.

Day by day
Oh Dear Lord
Three things I pray
To see Thee more clearly
Love Thee more dearly
Follow Thee more nearly
Day by day

“First and foremost, the right to life of every human person – from conception to natural death – is the primary and thus most essential of all human rights,” the letter stated. “Faith teaches and human reason confirms that human life is not a privilege bestowed on us by others, but rather a right that society must recognize and protect.

"As Christians, we are called to witness to an authentic ‘human ecology’ which safeguards all human life – no matter how frail or impaired – from being manipulated or destroyed.”
