FASTING 

FROM  HATRED, 

DETRACTION 

AND  CALUMNY

Quote for Today February 12,  2011


"Those who fast,
think themselves very devout when fasting,
even though their heart is filled with hatred.
Much concerned with sobriety,
they do not dare to wet their tongue
with wine or even water,
but they don't hesitate
to drink deep of their neighbor's blood
by detraction and calumny."

St. Francis de Sales [1567-1622]
