Commentary on the Gospel of
“For the heart of this people has grown dull.” The best way to get to people is to penetrate where it counts most—the heart. The heart is where Jesus’ words can effectively transform us and make us better persons. Sadly, many of us have refused to open our hearts. We have locked its beatings and have consequently made it dull. CS Lewis warns us about this danger when he wrote: “if you want to make sure of keeping your heart intact you must give it to no one...wrap it carefully; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, and irredeemable.”
