“The body is poisoned through the mouth, even so is the heart through the ear … And even if we do mean no harm, the Evil One means a great deal, and he will use those idle words as a sharp weapon against some neighbor’s heart.” — St. Francis de Sales
Before you go into a meeting or lunch with a difficult person, say a little prayer to the Holy Spirit, “Holy Spirit, please help me to control my thoughts and my words. Please help me to reflect your love and compassion and to allow the sweetness of Christ to flow from my lips. Please accompany me during this meeting!”
