Anger Can Be A Good Thing

Anger is a strong response to a perceived threat or injustice. Anger is not sinful when the perceived injustice is real, and when the response is controlled and in proportion to the injustice. Anger can even be a good thing, if it moves us to fight for good and to resist evil. But if we let anger control us, we can become so obsessed with the offense that we lose objectivity and end up ill equipped to deal with whatever got us angry in the first place.

St. Thomas Aquinas

(From The Dialogue ) PAUSE AND PONDER: Am I unwilling to believe God when He says nothing happens in my life that is not part of His Divine will for me? Do I refuse to see God’s hands in the struggles and trials of my daily life? Am I afraid to trust Him? (Excerpted from Pondering Tidbits of Truth, Volume VI)
