“Keep me from all rashness of speech, from all uncharitable and evil speaking; that my words may be few, seasoned with salt, and such as may minister grace to the hearers.”
—Jeremy Taylor (1613 – 1667)

Reflection: Where in my daily conversations do I most need God’s help to restrain haste, soften harshness, or strengthen truthfulness?
