Pure in Heart

Posted bycarlfmaulbeckPosted inVirtueTags:, , , ,

Blessed are the pure in heart

for they will see God[1]

The steadfast and loyal heart is

directed by good intention,

open to opportunities.

Faith-filled perception renders one

awake, aware, and attentive

for the Beatific Vision

Enlightenment sees with God’s eyes

and clarity hears with God’s ears,

in turn the soul is grasped by God.

Reconciling thus disperses

the haze of selfish ignorance,

and shimmers with selfless kindness.

Blessed are the good-intentioned

for they will enjoy divine company

[1] Matthew 5: 8

In the movie "Harvey", Elwood P Dowd, played by Jimmy Stewart, explains coping with the world this way: "Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
