In today’s gospel, the message is about anger. When the Pharisees were watching Jesus cured a man with a withered hand, they wanted to accuse Him. Jesus got angry with them but he did not commit a sin because he is God.
Anger is associated with sinfulness. But not all forms of anger are sinful. When we get angry, we should ask ourselves why we are angry. There are various reasons like when our core values are being stepped upon; when we are disrespected, used or manipulated, falsely accused, taken for granted, betrayed, mocked, rejected, degraded, etc. We can express our feelings of anger in several ways and that is when we become sinful and unlawful by saying hurting words, putting them into action thru violence or threats, doing harm as an act of revenge, etc. In order for us to avoid committing a sin or faults, we should gain control of ourselves and analyze the problem. We should try to understand the effect of anger and consequences of our action in our body and in our lives. When we hurt other people, it has a strong impact on them and goes back to us. So do by all means to say sorry and repair the damage. Therefore, it is necessary to seek the Lord’s help or someone for guidance. Let us put our faith and trust in the Lord that our problems will be resolved. So how do you handle your anger?
