Two scriptural verses to should keep in mind as we involve ourselves in devotional practices:
1. "This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me" (Isaiah 29:13);
2. "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" (Matthew 5:7).
It's an ironic and somewhat frightening fact that many of the most religious people of Christ's time (people who were actively practicing their religion and eagerly awaiting the promised Messiah) were not able to recognize Him when He came.
cf. Diary of St. Faustina
