“Give me the grace, good Lord, to set the world at naught; to set my mind fast upon you and not to hang upon the blast of men’s mouths.”
— Thomas More (1478–1535)

Reflective Question: Where do I find myself “hanging upon the blast of others’ mouths,” and how might God be inviting me to anchor my words and identity more deeply in truth?
