The world is not at peace because man has forgotten God and systematically removed Him. We are imbued with distraction that focus on self; so we are slow to hear and swift to anger. Anger darkens our judgment, prevents prayer, and leads to resentment - even depression and despair. The angry man always thinks he is right. Yet anger is a waste of time, energy, and sacrifice. Anger gives a place to the devil and opens the door to many additional sins. It even hurts us more than that which caused the anger. Consider the following remedies: [1] Do you best not to get angry, avoiding those situations which lead to it. [2] Strive for truth, as it calms our mind and ameliorates anger. Errors, inconsistencies, changes that ought not be, and deceptions all throw the intellect off balance and lead to anger. [3] Do your duty as God's grace protects you there. [4] Channel your anger into something constructive. [5] See those things causing your anger as coming from the hand of God. [6] Draw near to the Precious Blood. [7] Meditate on the Passion. [8] Invoke Saint Juanuarius.
