Ever so often we say and do things that we regret later. We want things our way and get very impatient. We end up hurting people and sometimes spoiling relationships.
Anger is something that can end up destroying us. Getting angry and impatient often is a sign of the sin of pride.
There is no sin or wrong that gives a man a foretaste of hell in this life as anger and impatience.
--Saint Catherine of Sienna
The virtue that we need to pray for is humility and meekness. We need to pray for grace to be gentle, patient, humble and kind.
This will bring more people closer to Christ than many preachings with no practice of humility.
”Be as gentle always as possible; and remember that you will catch more flies with a spoonful of honey than with a hundred barrels of vinegar. How can anyone be angry with another who fights him with pearls and diamonds?”
--Saint Francis of Sales
