OUR PASTOR ’S PAGE

Anger

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We’ve all been there before: Someone has made us mad. We are ticked off. “My

wife spent way too much. My husband is ‘zoning me out.’ My kid talked back to me and

I’m at my wits end. My parents told me I could not hang out with my friends this weekend.

That politician is lying through his teeth. That parishioner is griping again. (Does he or

she ever have something good to say?).” Anger. We’ve all been there, and we know

when we’ve lost our temper. We let a stream of cuss words out of our mouth; we

scream; we slam the door or hang up the phone violently; we press the ‘send’ button on

that ugly text message or email. Maybe we’ve even gotten physically violent. And while

we can always ask forgiveness, once we let those words come out of our mouths or we

become violent, we have to accept the consequences. And this is why anger is a deadly

sin.

Anger (or wrath) is an intense emotional response to a perceived provocation, hurt

or threat. Anger is often the response to an injustice to oneself or a loved one. And

when we are hungry or tired, it is even easier to get angry. According to the Catechism,

anger is neutral; it is neither good nor evil. However, the way anger manifests itself can

be either virtuous or vicious. Anger is sometimes justified, like when Jesus overturns the

tables of the moneychangers in the Temple. Righteous anger can move us to work for

justice. But more often than not, anger drives us not to justice, but to vengeance. It is

linked to the Commandment, “Thou shalt not kill,” and Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount

teaches us that we have to catch anger in the heart before it becomes insult, slander or

violence.

The virtue opposed to anger is patience and meekness. When we are meek and

patient, we avoid negativity, we control our temper, and we “cool off” to make sure we re-

act rationally and charitably. Patience is also a fruit of the Holy Spirit and a sign that God

is at work in our lives. But patience is not easy; we learn it the hard way. It helps us to

realize that the events in this world run on God’s time — not ours. Ultimately, God’s jus-

tice must be served — not ours. God is in control — not us. “You are God, I am not.”

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Lowry

PÁGINA DE NUESTRO PASTOR

Ira

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,

Todos hemos estado allí antes: Alguien nos ha vuelto locos. Estamos marcados.

"Mi esposa gastó demasiado. Mi esposo está "zoning me out." Mi hijo me contestó mal

de nuevo a mí y estoy en mi ingenio final. Mis padres me dijeron que no podía salir con

mis amigos este fin de semana. Ese político está mintiendo entre sus dientes. Ese parro-

quiano se queja de nuevo. (¿Tiene alguna vez algo bueno que decir?). "Ira. Todos he-

mos estado allí, y sabemos cuando hemos perdido la paciencia. Dejamos caer un torren-

te de malditas palabras de nuestra boca; Gritamos Cerramos la puerta o colgamos el te-

léfono violentamente; Presionamos el botón 'enviar' en ese feo mensaje de texto o correo

electrónico. Tal vez incluso nos hemos vuelto físicamente violentos. Y aunque siempre

podemos pedir perdón, una vez que dejemos que esas palabras salgan de nuestra boca

o nos volvemos violentas, tenemos que aceptar las consecuencias. Y por eso la ira es un

pecado mortal.

La ira (o ira) es una intensa respuesta emocional a una provocación, perjuicio o

amenaza percibida. La ira es a menudo la respuesta a una injusticia para uno mismo o

para un ser querido. Y cuando estamos hambrientos o cansados, es aún más fácil eno-

jarse. Según el Catecismo, la ira es neutral; No es ni bueno ni malo. Sin embargo, la ma-

nera en que la ira se manifiesta puede ser virtuosa o viciosa. La ira se justifica a veces,

como cuando Jesús derriba las mesas de los cambistas en el Templo. La ira justa puede

movernos a trabajar por la justicia. Pero más a menudo que no, la ira nos lleva no a la

justicia, sino a la venganza. Está vinculado al Mandamiento, "No matarás", y Jesús en el

Sermón de la Montaña nos enseña que tenemos que coger la ira en el corazón antes de

que se convierta en insulto, calumnia o violencia.

La virtud opuesta a la ira es paciencia y mansedumbre. Cuando somos mansos y

pacientes, evitamos la negatividad, controlamos nuestro temperamento, y nos

"refrescamos" para asegurarnos de que reaccionamos racional y caritativamente. La pa-

ciencia es también un fruto del Espíritu Santo y una señal de que Dios está obrando en

nuestras vidas. Pero la paciencia no es fácil; Lo aprendemos de la manera más difícil.

Nos ayuda a darnos cuenta de que los acontecimientos en este mundo corren en el tiem-

po de Dios - no en el nuestro. En última instancia, la justicia de Dios debe ser servida -

no la nuestra. Dios está en control - no nosotros. "Tú eres Dios, yo no soy".

Suyo en Cristo,

Fr. Lowry
