The 22nd Day: On Gossip


Dear Parish Faithful,


GREAT LENT - The Twenty second day

Do not listen to gossip
at your neighbor's expense,
and do not spend time talking with
those who love to find fault in others,
otherwise you will fall away from the love of God
and find yourself alienated from the eternal life.

- St. Maximus the Confessor
