Sunday, March 2 : Book of Sirach 27,4-7.
When a sieve is shaken, the husks appear; so do a man’s faults when he speaks.
As the test of what the potter molds is in the furnace, so in his conversation is the test of a man.
The fruit of a tree shows the care it has had; so too does a man’s speech disclose the bent of his mind.
Praise no man before he speaks, for it is then that men are tested.
