Jesus reminds us that purity of heart is not just about external behavior — it's about the orientation of our desires, the ordering of our love. When our hearts are preoccupied with lesser loves, disordered desires or inordinate attachments, we lose sight of God. Lust, in particular, darkens the intellect and impairs our ability to see clearly. St. Thomas Aquinas put it starkly: Lust makes you stupid. It blinds the heart and dulls our moral compass.

🙏 Reflect and pray with us throughout this month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ.
