There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. (Proverbs 12:18)

Let us pray: Blessed are You Lord who brings light and guidance to this world. Today we seek Your light that we may become effective communicators. Help us to speak only your truth. Help us to use the gift of speech in achieving love, peace and unity in this nation. Draw us to Your wisdom that we reproduce your goodness and shun conflicts to happen. Amen.
