Theme 48 : Either silence or truthful words

Truth is beautiful while falsehood is ugly. Truth can set us free. Those who tell lies think that lies set them free. Truthfulness is guarding against duplicity and hypocrisy. The Christian is not to "be ashamed of testifying to our Lord" (2 Tim 1:8) in deed and word. Martyrdom is the supreme witness given to the truth of the Faith. An offense committed against the truth requires reparation. One should practice moderation and discipline in the use of the social media to guard against being untruthful. (Ref. CCC 2504-2512)

Prayer :
Jesus, the TRUTH, help me to resemble YOU. I want to mirror YOU. Let me speak only when my words are more beautiful than silence. Let my every word reflect YOU and let me enjoy inner freedom.
