“Let your speech be, as a rule, seasoned with the fire of charity and the zeal of souls.”
—Catherine of Siena (1347–1380)
Source: Catherine of Siena, Letter 16, in The Letters of Catherine of Siena, trans. Vida D. Scudder (London: J. M. Dent, 1905), 1:52.
Reflection: Where might my speech today need to be “seasoned” with greater charity or zeal for another’s good?
