From behind a child’s bedroom door come sentences no one taught the children on purpose, they simply overheard them. That domestic scene opens a reflection on the Letter of James (James 3), where the small tongue turns out to be a rudder able to steer an entire life: to build or to set on fire. The sermon shows that each of us is a teacher to someone, in words and in deeds, and that wisdom is recognised not by knowledge but by daily living. Listen, and ask yourself what book you wrote with your own words this past week.
