MartyrsToday's beatitude is Blessed are the Pure of Heart, for they shall see God.
The gospel today, Luke 8: 1-3 tells of the Pure of Heart who followed Jesus during His ministry. They did so because they recognized Him as God.
Luke 8: 1-3
"Afterward he journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources."
May our hearts be pure.
