Dear Friend,

A pastor in Dublin once formed a mutual encouragement group at a time of stress in his large urban parish.

The members subscribed to a simple formula applied before speaking of any person or subject that was perhaps controversial.

T Is it true?

H Is it helpful?

I Is it inspiring?

N Is it necessary?

K Is it kind?

Msgr. O'Brien told the group, "If what I am about to say does not pass those tests, I will keep my mouth shut!" And it worked!

Pray always and never lose heart.
