No thought escapes him,
and not one word
is hidden from him.
and not one word
is hidden from him.
Sirach 42:20
Be assured that abuses are done away with by teaching rather than by commanding. If we make threats, let it be done sorrowfully, in the words of Scripture, and in terms of the world to come. In this way it is not we who are feared because of our power, but God because of our words (St Augustine).
Conquering the tongue is better than fasting on bread and water! (St. John of the Cross)
