“Blessed Are All the Pure in Heart”
When we manage to live in such a way that our actions are above reproach, ye are said to have clean hands. When we live in such a way that our desires are appropriate and are but reflected by our righteous actions, then we are said to be pure in heart. To be pure in heart is to be single, focused, riveted, aligned with the ways and will of the Almighty. It is to have no desires but desires for righteousness. When a Latter-day Saint is pure in heart, he seeks to build up and establish the cause of Zion; Zion is the pure in heart (see D&C 97:21).
