Pure 18 Sep 2018
Not mixed with anything else
Thinking about pure, the first thing that came to my mind is Mary
.
Although I am a Catholic, the place of Mary Is not so straight forward for me. Her purity is out of the question. She is. Her purity is exemplary. She is immaculate: no sin was and is found in her.
Bible
My first example is Jesus. I like His instructions in the bible.
Jesus says: ask your Heavenly Father.
I like that. Now the church says: Ask Mary.
I am not saying there must be a conflict.
Pure again
What I miss in the Ask Mary
is conversion and obedience.
When I do no intent to be or become a doer of the word of God, then I think I am not pure.
