pure heart books.	wilfred.	Friday, January 7, 2005
Question: Hello, Thanks for the forum. It's been a big help. Over the past few years I've heard quite a few priests mention, "You have to have a Pure Heart". After they mention that, they quickly go into some other subject. I think I know what they mean by a Pure Heart but was wondering why they don't explain what a pure heart is and how you keep one. I was wondering if there was any books by Priests or I guess by anyone solely about a Pure Heart? I think a pure heart means just having a good intention about everything you do. And not making assumptions about others and judging them. I know in the post to miquel about "Can't look up or down" you give 12 steps and they are very helpful but was wondering if they are any other books or sources one can purchase about a Pure Heart? Thanks and God Bless! Wifred

Hello,
Thanks for the forum. It's been a big help.

Over the past few years I've heard quite a few priests mention, "You have to have a Pure Heart". After they mention that, they quickly go into some other subject.

I think I know what they mean by a Pure Heart but was wondering why they don't explain what a pure heart is and how you keep one.

I was wondering if there was any books by Priests or I guess by anyone solely about a Pure Heart?

I think a pure heart means just having a good intention about everything you do. And not making assumptions about others and judging them.

I know in the post to miquel about "Can't look up or down" you give 12 steps and they are very helpful but was wondering if they are any other books or sources one can purchase about a Pure Heart?
