“Never listen to those who are speaking evil of another, and never say anything evil of anyone…” St Teresa of Avila

I don’t know the reference point for this quote, but St. Teresa could certainly be talking about our elections, the way people talk about politicians, the way politicians talk about each other, the way people talk about doctors/lawyers/coaches/teachers/ex’s/family members/former friends/community leaders/etc.  Maybe she’s talking directly to you today!  Are you saying anything evil or untrue about anyone?  Are you hanging around people who love to talk crap about others?  Our LORD wants love and mercy between us all, my sisters and brothers in Christ, so how about we start today and stop with anything other than kindness and peace!  Amen!
