**The malice of cursing is twofold. It is a grave sin against charity. To love someone is to wish well for that person. To curse someone is to wish evil for that person. But cursing is also sinful because it invokes the name of a loving God to ask that someone be harmed. Cursing, therefore, is not only a failure in love. It is hatred put into practice, and asks God to confirm this hatred by injuring the one who is hated.**
I think this bears repeating. Much to often practiced in today’s culture. Lord, cleanse our thoughts as well as our tongues!
