Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 7,14-23
Jesus summoned the crowd again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand.
Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person; but the things that come out from within are what defile.”
When he got home away from the crowd his disciples questioned him about the parable.
He said to them, “Are even you likewise without understanding? Do you not realize that everything that goes into a person from outside cannot defile,
since it enters not the heart but the stomach and passes out into the latrine?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
But what comes out of a person, that is what defiles.
From within people, from their hearts, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder,
adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly.
All these evils come from within and they defile.”
The external is as it is, but the internal is what defiles
1) The external: It is what is in front of me. Because it is affecting me I must face it, but sometimes I use it to blame for my difficulties. Be careful.
2) The internal: It is what is in me. It comes from within and I must work on it, because that is what Jesus tells us: to work on your interior and illuminate from the inside.
3) They are not changed: Some things never change. That’s why we must learn to bear them, manage them, and make the best of the situation.
God bless you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Remember, heaven is our goal.
