Fr. Anthony reminds us of the importance of our words. Our speech can act like a sieve that can filter out the bad and negative words a person can deliver to yield the beautiful and good characteristics about this person. In other words, when we listen to our own words/speech, we can filter out the ugly/unneeded husks to reveal the inner soul. He dares you to take a break from negative words, and taking the extra time before you speak to weigh the effect it has on the other person, and the world’s perception of you.
We hope you enjoy these and the rest of this week’s playlist.
