I try to remain silent. (Diary 92)

DIARY OF SAINT MARIA FAUSTINA KOWALSKA: Divine Mercy in My Soul
NOTEBOOK I
Humiliation is my daily food. I understand that the bride must herself share in everything that is the groom’s; and so His cloak of mockery must cover me, too. At those times when I suffer much, I try to remain silent, as I do not trust my tongue which, at such moments, is inclined to talk for itself, while its duty is to help me praise God for all the blessings and gifts which He has given me. When I receive Jesus in Holy Communion, I ask Him fervently to deign to heal my tongue so that I would offend neither God nor neighbor by it. I want my tongue to praise God without cease. Great are the faults committed by the tongue. The soul will not attain sanctity if it does not keep watch over its tongue.

REFLECTION
Scripture: Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Whoever values it shall eat from its fruits. (Proverbs 18:21)
Prayer: Lord Jesus, Your Word is clear about the power of the tongue. As Saint Faustina echoes, we can use our tongue to praise You.
We can also choose to be silent rather than say things we should not. Help us to learn this lesson. Great are the faults committed by the tongue. May we seek to never offend You or others by what we say. Let us only use our tongues to praise You and to give You thanks and all glory for the many blessings and gifts that You have given us.
Action: Take time today to praise God. Be careful not to offend God or others with your words. Recall the many blessings and gifts that God has given you and give Him all thanks and praise.
