| BkII:15.III.6 | Tenderness counteracts anger. No war can stand against it. Purity appeases and banishes the evil intentions that sometimes creep into the heart of the child of God. A pure heart is the greatest treasure in the universe. Nothing is greater than purity because purity is Godly. Not in vain have you been told: Happy are the pure of heart because theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Truly, truly, I say to you, only those who have a pure heart will see God. Its affability enhances the word and embellishes the face, making the soul that practices it literally the face of love on Earth. Truth is always affable because it is always serene, because it does not doubt its power, for it does not doubt what it is. |
