Wisdom from the Desert Fathers:
Abba Poemen said, ‘Teach your mouth to say what is in your heart.’
This is difficult for some of us. Maybe we have no awareness of what is in our heart.
Maybe we go with impulsive feelings rather than what is deep within us. (Especially when we have fingers to keyboard and social media applications open.)
This reminds me of the wisdom found in the Letter of James. And, remember, Jesus is always concerned with the state of our hearts. Let us get it right.
