nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person

“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.’” (MK 7: 14-15)

This is what we present during Program 1 showing the difference between shaken Coca-cola and water. It is “nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person”—no difficult day, a bad boss, or horrible traffic, “but the things that come out from within are what defile.” When we remember this, we can be victorious over any situation which has provoked our bad actions. 

“Your word, O Lord, is truth: consecrate us in the truth.” (Gospel Acclamation)
