Word for Wednesday August 28.

St. Augustine. “At that time: Jesus said, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. So you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.” Matthew 23:27-28. St. Bonaventure said, “When we pray, the voice of the heart must be heard more than
that proceeding from the mouth.”

Let us pray, Lord Jesus, we confess our double dealing; appearing holy yet interiorly we do not really measure up to what is seen exteriorly. Grant us a change of heart Lord. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
