January 29

Let me not speak ill of any man.

If I speak ill of a man, I may not see him at all in this life for his forgiveness.

But if I dare speak ill of God, God being everywhere, I shall be able to find Him for His forgiveness.

In such a case, I may speak ill of God, but not of man.

God will forgive me openly. Man will kill me secretly.
