What the Fathers say

Matthew 15:18

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

But what proceeds out of the mouth: it has already been said that by the mouth is understood the mind. Come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man: because the sins of the heart are thoughts and affections; Isa. 1:16: take away the evil of your thoughts from before my eyes.
