A good man draws what is good from the store of goodness in his heart; a bad man draws what is bad from the store of badness. For a man’s words flow out of what fills his heart.
Lk.6:45
Jesus continues his Sermon on the Mount, highlighting the condition of a person that matters to him, the state of the heart.
Jesus constantly talks about a person's heart, that is, one's innermost character, feelings, or inclinations. These can be good or bad. What fills my heart? If I'm honest, a bit of both. The litmus test is to listen to what flows from my mouth (eeek!).
Jesus, today may the words from my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing unto you.
Saints Cornelius and Cyprian, please pray for me.
