The one who speaks is to deliver God's message. - 1 Peter 4: 11
or it is rendered in another tranlation:
If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. - 1 Peter 4:11
It reminded me of something St. Paul writes:
...but be ye filled with the holy Spirit, Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father - Ephesians 5:18-20
Seems there is a trend here. It's not just that we speak charitably and without malice, it is that we speak (and write) praising God and in the words of the psalms-to each other! This is really not part of our culture. It seems it was the culture of the early Christians. How do we make it part of ours?
Our Lady of Joyful Hope-pray for us! ... Oremus pro invicem!
