One Bread, One Body - Reflection for May 23, 2013

"NOT-TY" OR NICE?

"Say not..." –Sirach 5:1, 3, 4, 6

Jesus said: "I assure you, on judgment day people will be held accountable for every unguarded word they speak. By your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned" (Mt 12:36-37). Watch what you say. Speak the truth; do the truth (Eph 4:15).

PRAYER: Father, be Lord of my mouth and life.
PROMISE: "Any man who gives you a drink of water because you belong to Christ will not, I assure you, go without his reward." –Mk 9:41
PRAISE: Mariano, a Christian businessman, witnesses to every customer with whom he deals. His secret of evangelization: "I listen attentively to them and am interested in what is going on in their life. Soon, when they return the favor, I tell them what Jesus is doing in my life."
