“I walked in the innocence of my heart in the midst of my house.” (Ps 100:2)
Our inner house is our heart: as he has explained in the words, “in the innocence of my heart.”
What is the innocence of the heart? The middle of his house.
Whoever has a bad house in this, is driven out of doors.
For whoever is oppressed within his heart by a bad conscience –
just as any man because of the overflow of a waterspout or of smoke goes out of his house –
suffers not himself to dwell therein:
so he who does not have a quiet heart, cannot happily dwell in his heart
St. Augustine
