Deeds reveal the character of the heart. If the heart is not clear and
undivided – "single," as Jesus puts it – then it is weak, flabby, and
indolent, incapable of accepting God’s will, of making im****tant
decisions,
or of taking strong action. This is why Jesus attached the greatest
significance to singleness of heart, to simplicity, unity, solidarity, and
decisiveness. Purity of heart is nothing else than absolute integrity,
which can overcome desires that enervate and divide. Determined single-
heartedness is what the heart needs in order to be receptive, truthful and
upright, confident and brave, firm and strong.
