The fullness of the heart

“A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good, but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil; for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.” (Lk 6: 45)

My heart can be a store—a store of goodness or a store of evil. This is my responsibility and my concern, what I will put into my store. From my storage I can produce either good or evil. When my heart is full of God’s words, collected from daily readings, my retreats and meetings with my merciful God in the Sacrament of Reconcilliation, we can produce good much easier.

“Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him.” (Gospel Acclamation)
