The life of Saint Issa
11
Issa answered them that God had no reference to temples built by the hand of man, but that He meant the hearts of men which are the true temples of God.
12
"Enter into your temple, into your heart, enlighten it with good thoughts, with patience and with firm confidence which you should place in your Father.”
13
“And your sacred vessels, these are your heads and eyes; see and do that which is pleasing to God, for in doing good to your neighbour you perform a ceremony which beautifies the temple where He lives who has given you life,”
R 14 "For God has created you in His own image innocent, with the soul pure, the heart filled with kindness, and not intended for the conception of evil schemes, but made to be the sanctuary of love and justice."
15
“Do not therefore defile your heart, I say unto you, for the Eternal Being dwells there always."
16 "If you wish to accomplish works of piety or love, do them with an open heart and let not your action be governed by hope of gain or mercenary thoughts."
17
“For these actions will not bring you salvation and you will then fall into a state of moral degradation where lying, theft and assassination pass as generous deeds."
