More than this, Saint Paul is talking about our new selves baptized in the Spirit and giving us strong guidance for living our new lives.
He tells us to avoid lying, stealing, bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, reviling, and malice. Instead, we are to labor at honest work, share with others in need, be truthful, kind, compassionate, and forgiving.
Today, I will live deliberately in the Spirit, removing from my day those activities I should avoid and substituting those activities that strengthen my walk with my God.
Saint Giles, patron of beggars and the disabled, pray for us.
