WATCH: This Sunday, Consequences of a Pure Heart


True religion is not about ritual, it’s about the state of your heart, says Father Marion Charboneau.

But calling for purity of the heart has its own consequences, he says, commenting on the readings for the  22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Father Marion Charboneau is a monk of St. Benedict’s Abbey on the campus of Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. He also teaches history at the college.

St. Benedict Abbey’s 60 Seconds for Sunday series of videos looks at each upcoming Sunday’s readings.

The monks at the Abbey, along with the Benedictine Sisters at Mount St. Scholastica, are what make Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, Benedictine.
