The saints understood the need for a singular focused heart. Not one formed by the world but one aligned with our creator.
St. Benedict of Nursia says, “You change your life by changing your heart.” St. Therese of Lisieux stated: Jesus, help me to simplify my life by learning what you want me to be, and becoming that person.
As scripture reminds us, we are to be new wine.
No one patches an old cloak with a piece of unshrunken cloth, for its fullness pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse. People do not put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined. Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved. Matthew 9:14-17
Thank you, Lord, for giving me a new heart to fill up with the things you deem worthy.
