“When Christ came, he banished the devil from our hearts, in order to build in them a temple for himself. Let us therefore do what we can with his help, so that our evil deeds will not deface the temple.”

                          ~St. Caesarius of Arles

For Reflection:

What “stone” of virtue can I use today to help build a temple for Christ within myself? What one defaced “stone” can I work to remove?
