“Refute those who dispute with you by the strength of your virtues and not by the persuasiveness of your words, but by the meekness and quietness of your lips.” 

- St Isaac the Syrian, The Ascetical Homilies, Homily 4, pg 32-33.

Reflection: 

May we always work on ourselves to love Christ and our neighbor even better than the previous day, so that our virtues will shine. 

This way we will follow the advice of St Isaac and truly give the love and meekness of Christ(1) in response to any given situation.
