In the Epistle of John: |If our heart blame us not, we have confidence towards God; and whatever we ask, we shall receive from Him.| Also in the Gospel according to Matthew: |Blessed are they of a pure heart, for they shall see God.| Also in the twenty-third Psalm: |Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in His holy place? The innocent in hands and of a pure heart.|
