Watching One's Step

Quid est quod ait Custodi pedem tuum ingrediens domum Dei.? Nunquid offensione lapidum monet custodiri pedem, quando ingredimur domum Dei, id est ecclesiam Dei? Quamvis semper honeste et cum timore ac silentio debeamus ingredi domum Dei, tamen non pedem corporis docet custodiendum, sed pedem animae, id est ingressum corporis, ut in conspectu Dei mundas preces effundamus. Et est sensus: Quando ingrederis domum Dei, videlicet ecclesiam, custodi pedem tuum, id est, ingressum mentis tuae, ne offendas in cogitationibus malis, ut oratio tua pura dirigitur ad Deum. Honorius Augustodunensis, Quaestiones Et Ad Easdem Responsiones In Duos Salomonis Libros, In Ecclesiasten, Caput IV Source: Migne PL 172.340b-c

Why is it he says, 'Watch your step when you enter the house of God'? 1 Does he warn us to keep our step from the stone of offence, 2 when we enter the house of God, which is the Church of God? Although we should always enter into the house of God uprightly and with fear and in silence, however he does not teach us here to watch the step of the body, but of the soul, that is, that having entered in the body we may pour forth pure prayers to God. This is his meaning: when you enter the house of God, that is, the Church, watch your step, that is, with the entry of your mind, do not give offence with evil thoughts, so that you may direct your pure prayer to God.
