8.1 Do I Have a Heart of Gold? “Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God.” We are called to be pure of heart – to desire what God desires. When we are “pure of heart” we are able to love and give generously, even as God does. When we are pure of heart we are able to see according to God. We are able to have a generous attitude towards others, to recognize their goodness and to forgive their faults. Modesty is an appreciation of our dignity and of the dignity of all other people.

8.2 Do I Have a Heart of Gold? Envy is a resentment towards another’s well-being. It is a refusal to love fully. The ninth and tenth commandments forbid reducing relationships to opportunities for carnal, personal or commercial gain. God desires and enables us to rejoice in our own and others’ good fortune, happiness and blessing. Our ardent desires are satisfied when they are directed towards the love of God and neighbor.
