In today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches the crowds a parable: "Nothing that enters from outside defiles a person; but the things that come out from within are what defile" (Mark 7:14–15). He shifts focus from external rules to the heart as the source of holiness or sin.
Later, at home, He explains this intimately to His disciples. Personal prayer is our spiritual "home"—a quiet place to meet Christ amid life’s noise. Bring questions here, not from doubt, but a desire to know Him better.
As faith matures, we’re called to deeper intimacy. Like marriage, a relationship with God grows through honest communication. Daily, open your heart, speak truthfully, and listen. Seek Christ in prayer’s quiet, letting Him guide you into His wisdom and love.
