The
life of a Christian is characterised by three things - Action, Speech and
Thought. The origin of every word is 'thought'. After a thought comes 'speech'
which reveals in words the idea which has been conceived in the mind. Once the
thought and speech take place in us then comes the third characteristic
'action', which realises the thought in deed. In the course of life we are made
to think, to speak and to act. It is a good rule and it is good for us to keep
a careful eye on these divine characteristics.
(St Gregory of Nyssa on Christian Perfection)
"Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord," (Col 3:17; Rom 14:7)
