Summary/Abstract: The Christian faith expresses that the thoughts and the words are effects of the fall.In Paradise, the man was in an ontological bond with God, has a full communion withHim. Only through the fall, amplified later by personal sins, appeared the split betweenthought, word and deed in people's lives. Word is a tool of communication and a meansof establishing the communion between people. The need for communication and communionis therefore a fundamental human need. We communicate increasingly andmore performant, but we are less and less in communion, we speak and listen more andmore, but we send and receive less and less, we listen but we do not hear, we look butwe do not see. Truly, the word is as a milestone in our spiritual becoming. With a goodword we can turn a man from the jaws of death, but a bad word, spoken in a criticalmoment, indifferent or malevolent, can throw him to despair. The man has the duty toutter the spiritual words, words with a positive and formative content, witch build andedify, enlighten and save.
