Beatitude: Mt. 5:8

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Matthew 5:8

Reflection

Purity of heart is an undivided vision. Laudato Si’ invites this clarity by teaching us to see God reflected in every creature and every person. A pure heart resists greed, indifference, and the lie that creation exists only for consumption. Such a heart learns contemplation: to look at a leaf, a river, a field, or a human face and recognize a sacred gift rather than a disposable thing.
