The Scourging Tongue

About this sermon

When we focus in on devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, we begin to understand the true gravity of sin. None of us can use the excuse that the sins of the tongue...our hurtful gossip, our detraction, our calumny...isn't causing any bruises, cuts, or lacerations...for Someone was literally bruised, cut, scourged, crowned with thorns, and lacerated to the point that His entire Body was one bloody wound. The sins of the tongue, in fact, are some of the most bloody sins of all. In the Church's Book...in the Book of Ecclesiasticus...it states: the blow of a whip raises a welt, but a blow of the tongue crushes bones. A tongue lashing...a verbal scourging...can be a terrible torture. For more please visit http://www.reginaprophetarum.org & remember to say 3 Hail Marys or the priest
