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

Your Destiny...Your Duty

(Image Source - Wikimedia Commons ) This is the Will of God – your sanctification.  To be a child of Mary means to be a saint.  That is your destiny.  That is your duty.  That is the one work of your life and your life's only work…there is only one sorrow: not to be a saint.  God has willed that you be a saint; has made it the whole purpose of your life, and the only meaning of all your living.  Rev. M. Raymond, O.C.S.O.
