Silence is a vivifying moment
of grace, in which the creature is
silent, but the spirit speaks.
To be silent about yourself IS
HUMILITY.
To be silent over the faults of
others IS CHARITY.
To be silent when we're
suffering IS HEROISM.
To be silent before someone
else’s suffering is COWARDY.
To be silent before injustice
IS WEAKNESS.
To be silent when someone is talking
IS DELICACY.
To be silent when someone
expects a word, IS OMISSION.
To be silent and not speak
useless words IS PENANCE.
To be silent when there's no
need to talk, IS PRUDENCE.
To be silent when God speaks to
our heart is SILENCE.
To be silent before the mystery
that we don’t understand IS WISDOM.
We need to know the hours we
have to keep silent, and the moments we need to talk. Talking is silver and being
silent is Gold...

my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to
anger.” James 1:19

This year I put my words to the side. I have used my mouth to hurt family and friends, not anymore.
I watch what comes out of the mouth, I keep quite and it has helped.
