Jesus said, "When you make the two into one, you will become children of Adam, and when you say, 'Mountain, move from here!' it will move." (106 Thomas)

In the Psalm assigned for today we read, "With my whole heart I seek you." (Psalm 119: 2)

In the gospel assigned for today we read of Jesus condemning the Pharisees and scribes, "For you are like whitewashed tombs, which on the outside look beautiful, but inside they are full of the bones of the dead and of all kinds of filth. So you also on the outside look righteous to others, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness." (Matthew 23: 27-28)

Our hearts are often divided. We may seek fame or fortune, security or comfort, more than we seek God. We may seek to hide our division - even from ourselves - but the offspring of division will continue to multiply.

The offspring of wholeness is creative power. When our division from God is closed, when our intention is God's intention, our purpose God's purpose, then whatever we might undertake will be achieved.

The synoptic parallels are Luke 17:5-6, Matt 17:19-20, Matt 21:18-22, and Mark 11:20-25.
