Words are powerful. Nothing less than the world was created by the Word, the Logos. And the words uttered by the sons of Adam and daughters of Eve are powerful as well. They possess the power to empower life . . . and to inflict deep wounds, leaving lasting scars.

Illuminated by God’s light, may words of mercy, encouragement and joy predominate here. If you have words of grace to share, don’t hesitate to post your comments.
