We read today of an angry Jesus cleansing the Temple of merchants and money changers: "My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves" (Lk 19: 46). It was a just and righteous anger reflecting the sentiments of the Psalmist, "The zeal for your house consumes me." (Ps 69 10 ) and we might easily chime in when we look at the corruption being daily exposed in the Church. But before pointing the finger at the institution, it might be better to look closer at ourselves and find the thieves and money changers in our own hearts.
