All our efforts, all our trials and all
our struggles must be directed
toward the purification of the heart
through faith. This is really the
whole purpose of Christianisty. For,
to have a pure heart is to love God
alone, seek him alone, and to
strive towards him with all our
energies. It is to avoid sin and even
the semblance of sin. It is to
observe the laws of God, to fear his
justice and to adore his sovereign
will. To have a pure heart is, in a
word, to practice faith and to profit
from the lessons which faith teaches.
Clearly therefore, the faith
which is God-revealing is
necessarily on which purifies the
heart.
