“So we pray for ‘pure and clean hearts.’ We ‘await the day of his coming.’ But do we really want to be melted by the refiner’s fire? Do we really want to be scoured with the fuller’s soap? Do we really want the sleeping god to awake and hear our prayers?” Greg preaches on Malachi 3 on the feast of the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple.
