The mouth of the just murmurs wisdom. — Psalm 37:30
Mass Readings: 1 Kings 10:1-10 / Mark 7:14-23
Corrosion of any nature — whether it be on metal, food, or one’s physical person — ruins appearances and keeps the true nature from shining forth. Fortunately, however, such external corrosion can be remedied by its removal and improving the environment around the object. However, at times corruption is internal, such as in our personality or actions. Jesus explains that this internal corruption is much worse and requires greater effort to correct it.
None of us is perfect; we all have a few bumps, bruises, and signs of corrosion about us. Let us, however, strive to eliminate the manifestations of corruption which are internal and seek to be more pristine in all we do and say. Then we’ll be better able to help build the Kingdom of God.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, cleanse me from the corruption that keeps me from You.
