Take some time to think about the gift of free speech and how to use it to serve the Lord. Here are some thoughts:

“May the spoken words of my mouth, the thoughts of my heart, win favor in your sight, O Lord.” (Ps 19:15)

“We can use our treasured capacity for speech to offer prayer as fragrant as incense  before God or to offer hurt to another.” (From Magnificat, Oct. 2009 Tues. 20th, p.291).

May my heart always desire to seek God’s ways above my own.
