We Need Your Help!

Mirky Waters

Posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2013 by Women of Grace Staff

“The love of talk distracts all the powers of our soul from God, and fills them with earthly objects and impressions like a vessel of water which cannot be clear and settled while you are continually stirring the earthly particles from the bottom.”

                                                                       -St.Elizabeth Ann Seton

 

For Reflection:

The powers of the soul are will, reason, and emotion. How can the “love of talk” draw these away from God? To what extent have I seen this to be true in myself? What practical strategies can I use to mortify myself of this tendency? (See tomorrow’s Graceline to see how silence leads to wisdom.)
