I will give you a new heart

“I will give you a new heart and place a new spirit within you, taking from your bodies your stony hearts and giving you natural hearts. I will put my spirit within you and make you live by my statutes, careful to observe my decrees.” (EZ 36: 26-27)

Every broken relationship with God has the same final end—God initiates a new beginning: “I will give you a new heart and place a new spirit within you.” God never gives up on us; He always loves and always hopes. With Our Lord we can be a new persons, “careful to observe His decrees.”

“If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.” (Gospel Acclamation)
