"If some rich and powerful friend were to enter your home, you would quickly clean the entire house for fear something there might offend your friend's eyes, when he entered. Let anyone then who is preparing his inner house for God cleanse away the dirt of his evil deeds. The Lord comes into the  heart and makes his home in one, who truly loves God and observes his commandments." St Pope Gregory the Great

Why are we more concerned at times of offending a weak, sinful person like ourselves, while not showing a greater respect for the Lord God, who is perfect? Is it because we are more concern with the person we can see than the God we can't see? In the end, the human person will come and go, while God will be the one who judges our lives. While there is time, cleanse the inner rooms of your heart from the various filth of sin. The human person may not see these areas, but God does.
