Listen "Day 27: Speaking Virtuously (Introduction to the Devout Life)"
Episode Synopsis
In pursuing a Devout Life, Saint Francis de Sales addresses sins of speech and explains how gossip and slander harm the speaker and those spoken of.

Jacob-Bertrand discuss the gravity of daily, mundane offenses and how these can be more seductive and harmful than larger, rarer sins.
