“God bestows more consideration on the purity of the intention with which our actions are performed than on the actions themselves.” — Saint Augustine
Several years ago, I was coming out of the chapel and happen to look outside to see one of our priests washing my car. He had just finished washing his car and was in the process of scrubbing down mine…he did not look for a “pat on the back” or a return favor later on, and if I hadn’t said anything, it would have gone completely unnoticed. Now that is true purity of intention!
