ISB ~ Matthew 5 v8

the pure in heart:Those who act with integrity and serve the Lord unselfishly. In biblical terms, the heart is the hidden center of the person where oneโ€™s thoughts, words, actions, and emotions are said to originate. A pure heart is undefiled by evil and lustful thoughts (5:27-30; 15:18-20) and finds its true treasure in heaven (6:19-21). In eternity, the pure in heart will see God as the angels do even now (18:10; 1 Cor 13:12; Rev 22:4). Catholic theology calls this unmediated union with God in heaven the Beatific Vision (CCC 2517-19).
