St. John of the Cross-Sayings of Light and Love


SAYING #147


Never listen to the talk about the weaknesses of others, and if someone complains of another, you can tell her humbly to say nothing of it to you.

Today's challenge: Let us try to spend this day refraining from gossip and noticing the faults of others. Let us follow the teaching of St. Paul who tells us that we should only say things that will encourage and build up people and not tear them down. Let us pray for our neighbor and practice the virtue that we see lacking in them.

Peace be with you!
Rosemarie, OCDS
