God our loving Father, cleanse our hearts, purify us of our desires and intentions in life; make us like Tobiah who could wholeheartedly declare before you of his noble intentions in marrying Sarah:
Now, Lord, you know that I take this wife of mine not because of lust, but for a noble purpose. Call down your mercy on me and on her, and allow us to live together to a happy old age.” They said together, “Amen, amen,” and went to bed for the night.
Tobit 8:7-8
Like the man who inquired Jesus about the first of all commandments, grant us dear God same pure heart that leads to "understanding" so that we may be "no longer far from the Kingdom of God" (cf. Mark 12:34). Amen.
