Season Three: Episode Nineteen - Practicing Virtues in Conversation: Part Two

In this episode, Father and Sister continue their discussion on a reflection titled "Virtues to be Practiced in Conversation" featured in the May issue of Under Her Mantle. In part two, we go over the virtue of charity. The author wrote: Humility ought to be associated with charity, the humility which treats every one with consideration and respect (Romans 12:10); listens to others without permitting itself to interrupt them, feels no annoyance at being itself interrupted them or not listened to with attention; willingly defers to their opinion in so far as conscience authorizes them to do so, avoids speaking of itself or of what may attract praise and esteem. Zeal for good ought to sanctify conversation, by consoling our neighbor in his trials, encouraging him in his annoyances, strengthening him in his weakness, raising him up when he is cast down, giving him good advice with discretion, leading him to God and to virtue. (Philippians 1:27) "Be you in all manner of conversation holy." (1 Peter 1:15) If you are interested in subscribing to our publication, Under Her Mantle, you can email Sister Catherine: [email protected]
