Reflection
Today pollution is a big issue, and rightly so. People want clean water, clean air, and so on. But the most dangerous pollution of all is evil. So what must we do? We must purify the source; the heart is the source. It is the wellspring from which all our thoughts, words and deeds flow. Lord, cleanse our hearts with your grace so that all our thoughts, words and deeds may be like water flowing from a pure spring.
