And Margaret gives very sound advice, as well. <BR/><BR/>If only people -- particularly those who imagine themselves to be devout Catholics -- who engage in calumny, gossip, detraction and slander would realize how their viciously wagging tongues say VOLUMES more about the smallness and blackness of their own souls and hearts than it does about those whose names they wish to drag through the mud, they would stop dead in their tracks. Such people care more about what others think of them than what God thinks of them. A truly holy person would never consider behaving this way because they are truly senstive to how much it offends God most of all!<BR/><BR/>"Blessed are you when they say all sorts of vile things against you for My Sake..." <BR/><BR/>Love and prayers,<BR/>GeorgetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-33186120646907759362008-06-19T07:52:00.000-04:002008-06-19T07:52:00.000-04:00Through such sad experiences we come to see that G...Through such sad experiences we come to see that God is our truest and best Friend.elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-7325013774116098532008-06-19T03:15:00.000-04:002008-06-19T03:15:00.000-04:00I have known the pain of calumny all too well.

But, I have concluded that people believe what they want to believe anyway. I cannot control others' tongues or thoughts. I must let God handle it and go about my life, which at times is hard. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for this reminder to 1. mind my own tongue 2. stop gossip when it reaches me and 3. pray for those who have committed this sin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-91031777251493068172008-06-18T13:57:00.000-04:002008-06-18T13:57:00.000-04:00Thank you, Alexandra.
