"Then Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out those who were selling things, saying to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.'" Luke 19:45-46
"If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person; for the temple of God, which you are, is holy." 1 Corinthians 3:17. As I think about Jesus cleaning house, I can't help but think it is my heart that is being cleansed. You are the temple of God, when Jesus enters in, do we give Him authority. Do we listen to Him and obey Him. His purpose and that of the Saints is to get us to heaven. It is us who must decide, do we allow sin to destroy His temple or do we stand with open arms inviting Him in? Open the doors to your temple and allow Jesus to drive out what doesn't belong there.
Dear Lord God, my doors are wide open, remove what doesn't glorify You. Cleanse me from the inside out. You have created this temple in Your image, restore it to its rightful owner, You. I give You complete authority. May we recognize when the thief is trying to enter and may You block Him from soiling Your holy ground. Make my temple a house of worship all the days of my life. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Ark of the Covenant, pray for us.

Come Holy Spirit, living in Mary. Help me to ardently make a Covenant of Consecration with Mary.
Did Mary not make a Covenant with God when she said yes, who better to help you, other than the Mother of your Savior.
