Luke 19: 45-48
Jesus at the Temple
45 When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling. 46 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer’ but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
47 Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him. 48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.
We might picture Jesus coming into our hearts and finding them cluttered with junk from the internet, our pride or laziness, or whatever might blur our vision of what's right or wrong, or what God is asking of us, or of what we know God has called us to. Let take time to see what is superfluous in our lives and invite Jesus to drive it out of us.

Lord, you made us temples of
the Holy Spirit, and yet so often, we make of our temples a den of
thieves. Turn our hearts back to you. Inspire us by the gift of your
Holy Spirit that we may be instruments of your justice and lasting
peace. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
