Medito e il mio spirito si interroga

The Diocese of Milano released a reflection on the importance of controlling speech to shape a person's character and actions. Drawing from Gc 3, 1-12, Sal 38 (39), and Lc 18, 35-43, the commentary explains that words serve as the source for all personal actions.

The Diocese notes that people often neglect how they speak, believing words disappear quickly, yet speech actually determines how a person acts. Avoiding lies, vulgarity, and gossip allows a person to build a strong and just personality. For Christians, managing speech is described as a way to respond to the Word of God rather than a mere exercise in good manners.
