“When Mary holds you up, you will not fall; when she protects you, you need not fear; when she leads you, you will not tire yourself; when she is favorable to you, you will arrive at the harbor safely.” – St. Bernard

How Sharp Is Your Tongue?

Whenever I speak of my neighbor, the tongue in my mouth is like a scalpel in the hands of a surgeon who wishes to cut between the nerves and the tendons.  The stroke I give must be neither more nor less than the truth.

    I always admire the people I know who never say anything bad about anyone else, no matter how reprehensible the person may be.

    Thanks for commenting Barbara. We can never take back the words we utter. God be merciful to us sinners!
