They do not wash their hands when they eat a meal.\u201d He summoned the crowd and said to them, \u201cHear and understand. It is not what enters one\u2019s mouth that defiles the man; but what comes out of the mouth is what defiles one.\u201d Then his disciples approached and said to him, \u201cDo you know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard what you said?\u201d He said in reply, \u201cEvery plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, I look to you with love, confident I will receive all good things from your hands. I open my heart to hear with faith what you want to say to me. Lord, I humbly ask for the grace to grow ever more deeply in sync with you, allowing you to transform my natural vision to a supernatural one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>\u201cHear and Understand\u201d:<\/strong> How often we esteem others for their words or actions only to be disappointed and surprised by their misbehavior. Jesus taught the crowd that external practices and things people say are not measures of holiness. Only the Lord can judge the heart, and he cautions us to keep our hearts pure so that our mouths speak only the goodness we contain within. \u201cA clean heart create for me, God; renew within me a steadfast spirit\u201d (Ps 51:12).\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Interiority:<\/strong> Our Lord told the crowd, and he says to us, \u201cHear and understand.\u201d We begin to \u201chear and understand\u201d when we meditate on Our Lord\u2019s words in Scripture. At first, meditation can require hard work\u2014focusing one\u2019s attention, placing oneself in the presence of God, spending time reflecting on small sections of Scripture at a time. Day by day, God gives us understanding (a gift of the Holy Spirit), opening our ears and our hearts to more deeply know and love him. When we put this effort into our prayer, it\u2019s as if Jesus is making the Sign of the Cross over us, blessing us now and for all eternity.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blindness:<\/strong> When the blind lead the blind, both fall into a pit. The evil one can be very active when souls resolve to pray faithfully every day. Most times, an external spiritual director or someone knowledgeable and experienced in the spiritual life can confirm and orient us. Many great saints had equally great spiritual directors. \u201cThe Holy Spirit gives to certain of the faithful the gifts of wisdom, faith and discernment for the sake of this common good which is prayer (spiritual direction). Men and women so endowed are true servants of the living tradition of prayer\u201d (CCC 2690).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord, grant me the grace to recognize your voice and understand your words with supernatural insight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution: <\/strong>Lord, today by your grace I will examine my judgments about others and seek to rectify anything that is based merely on hearsay or external practice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection:<\/strong> Thomas H. Green has published numerous books on prayer including <em>Opening to God<\/em> for beginners, <em>When the Well Runs Dry<\/em> for those at an intermediate stage, and <em>Drinking from a Dry Well<\/em> for those advanced in the practice of prayer. A synopsis of \u201cHow to Do a Meditation\u201d can be found in <em>The Better Part<\/em>, by Fr. John Bartunek, on the front and back flap.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renee Pomarico is Communications Director for the Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi. She is from Philadelphia, has been consecrated to God since 2000, and is currently stationed in
