*Friends, at the heart of today’s Gospel is the cleansing of the Temple.
Jesus entered the great Temple in Jerusalem—which for a Jew of that time
was everything—and began to tear the place apart. Precisely because the
Temple was supposed to be so holy, Jesus was flabbergasted at what had
happened to it, and how the trading of merchants had come to dominate. From
the earliest days, Christian writers and spiritual teachers saw the Temple
as symbolic of the human person. In fact, didn’t Saint Paul himself refer
to the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit? Your very self is meant to be a
temple where God’s spirit dwells and where prayer, communion with God, is
central. But what happens to us sinners? The money changers and the
merchants enter in. What is supposed to be a place of prayer becomes a den
of thieves. And so the Lord must do in us now what he did in the Temple
then: a little house-cleaning. What shape is the temple of your soul in?
Suppose that Jesus has made a whip of cords, knotted with the Ten
Commandments. What would he clear out of you?*
