HEART OF JESUS, SACRED TEMPLE OF GOD,

HAVE MERCY ON US.

Jesus has this to say in today's Gospel: It is not what enters one's mouth that defiles; but what comes out of the mouth is what defiles one (Mt 15:11). Saint Benedict includes this as one of the tools for good works: "Guard your lips from harmful or deceptive speech" (RB 4:51).

SAINT JOHN MARY VIANNEY,

PRAY FOR US.
