Day 288: Battling Against Gossip (2025)

Fr. Mike explains the importance of wisdom in our everyday lives
when we face temptations to gossip, encouraging us in the battle
for virtue, wisdom, and goodness. He emphasizes that we must ask
the Lord for his wisdom to guide us as we interact with the people
around us, just like the Jews prayed before battle. Today’s
readings are 1 Maccabees 7, Sirach 19-21, and Proverbs 22:22-25.
