Hi there, I’m sorry I haven’t been on here much, I’ve been busy with a lot of things. As most of you know, I struggle a lot with anger, I’ve had anger issues since childhood. Right now these struggles seem to be coming to a peak, and I’m doing a poor job overcoming them. Please pray that I finally succeed.
Prayers today to your Guardian Angel. If it is any comfort I think failing in things like this can be a great source of humility and humility is pure gold
I will keep you in prayer. Many of us are having this same issue with core faults and understand completely. Here is a quick prayer against anger: Lord Jesus, there is anger in my heart and I cannot root it out. I know that I should calm down and offer the hurt and disappointment to You but my emotion is running away with me. Help me to overcome this weakness and give me peace of heart as well as mind. Let me learn from this experience and grow into a better human being. Amen.
I have a rather 'different' anger issue. I am angry with our Parish Priest and find it hard to attend mass in my parish. I go more often to adjoining Parishes 30 minutes away, running up many kilometres on my old car. He says a perfect mass [he even genuflects!], promotes Confession, extols the Eucharist and is clearly a learned theologian. But he is obsessed with insurance and regulations to the degree that he has lost 30% of his congregation. Be believe he shut down our local Catholic community. Odds are he is an Aspergers personality. Are there others who have this problem/ Interested in your insights.
