Sin begins within

"You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’  But now I tell you: anyone who looks at a woman and wants to possess her is guilty of committing adultery with her in his heart."
Matthew 5:27‭-‬28 GNBDK

Reflection:
Sin begins in the heart first, propagates in the mind and manifests in the body. And Jesus warns us about this so as to be aware of not only what happens on the outside but inside too.  Have you been struggling in a particular area? Identify the patterns, go to it root and offer it to Jesus in contemplative prayer with the word of God.

Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to be aware of everything that happens inside and outside of you. May you immerse yourself in the word of God made flesh in Jesus Christ his son. And may his Holy Spirit give you the wisdom and understanding to the ways of God. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
