Ch19/ Charity, 440-450.

Finish your work then your brother's too, God is hurt by your lack of charity towards Him, never think badly of anyone even with reason, don't criticize, never speak badly of your brother, gossip is disease that infects/poisons/wastes & destroys union with God, we all have weaknesses, Silence is preferable to how many people waste their lives rambling, difficult to speak well, don't be mischievous slandering backbiter, stop offending God with injustice! --- from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá
