Deadly Poison of Anger

About this sermon

Anger is a deadly poison! The saints go so far as to say to yield to anger is never profitable to ourselves or to others. If it produce no other evil, it at least robs us of peace. The disturbance of mind to which we give way on account of the maltreatment we receive from others or the injustice we perceive in some situation is more hurtful to us than the injuries offered to us. Seneca has said, “My anger will hurt me more than their insults.” Thus, he who indulges anger when an affront is offered to him is a cause of pain to himself. St. Augustine: “Thou hast decreed, O Lord! that the soul that is inordinate should be its own torment.” Thus, St. Francis de Sales teaches that no matter how just the reason for our anger, it is always expedient to restrain it. St. Augustine says that once anger enters the soul, it is difficult to expel it…and so he exhorts us to close the door to anger so that it cannot enter.
