Before you speak, listen. The Church Fathers understood that restraint and wisdom in speech are marks of a disciplined man—not weakness. Pausing before you speak is a sign of strength, not hesitation.
In a world that rewards quick takes and hot reactions, a Catholic man who masters his tongue stands apart. Silence and self-control are spiritual disciplines that reflect a heart oriented toward Christ.
