Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire!

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons )   There is no sin nor wrong that gives man such a foretaste of Hell in this life as anger and impatience.   St. Catherine of Siena 

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) 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 (This is just one of the 1200 inspiring quotations you will find in my award winning book, Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire! - Words to Challenge, Inspire and Instruct )

(Image source: Wikimedia Commons ) When you are excited to impatience, think for a moment how much more reason God has to be angry with you, than you can have for anger against any human being, and yet how constant is His patience and forbearance. (St. Elizabeth Ann Seton)
