What if giving something up wasn’t about food, but about how we speak? Pope Leo XIV’s call to fast from harsh words, rash judgment, and slander feels especially timely in a culture that often rewards outrage. The idea of choosing language that doesn’t wound — of pausing before we post, text, or fire back — resonates across beliefs. Disarming our words doesn’t weaken conviction. It strengthens trust. #BeABuilder #pope #popeleoxiv #Builders
