Deuteronomy 30:14
Douay-Rheims
But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayst do it.
Clement of Alexandria
"Anyone who tries to act high-handedly annoys God," says Scripture. For bombast is a spiritual vice. Scripture tells us to repent from it as from the other vices by turning from disharmony and by linking ourselves to a change for the better through the three instruments of mouth, heart and hands.
