Welcome to our daily rosary meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. The sixth beatitude is

blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God. Now to be pure of heart does not mean those who never experience temptation.

Even Jesus was tempted. And it does not mean that we will never have an impure thought like pride or lust, anger, or resentment.

To be pure of heart means to have the powers of our soul healed and reintegrated by receiving Jesus in the Eucharist combined with our effort

through mental prayer and a resolution. You might say, wait a minute, I don't even know what the powers of the

soul or or how they're supposed to work. Well, there are three powers in our soul, the intellect, the feelings, and the will, and they are designed by God to work this way.

The intellect perceives or becomes aware of reality through the five senses or the imagination or the memory.

The intellect then presents its perception of reality to the feelings as this is right and good for me or this is wrong and bad

for me. The feelings then respond to what the intellect presented with, I like this, prompting the will to choose

it, or I dislike that, prompting the will to avoid it the will chooses the apparent good and avoids the evil

but what came first what should come first? Thinking.

Thinking should inform our feelings which prompt our choices.

Thinking should rule our lives, not feeling.
