Every time we get angry, that is an invitation from the Holy Spirit to go deeper, safely held in Christ’s love. We do not want out anger to lead us to hurt others, or bad mouth them. We want to respond in Christ’s love to situations that make us angry, rather than react.
So we check out, is someone, or am I, being harmed here? If so, what do I need to be safe? What boundaries do I need to put in place?
We are so quick to judge others by their actions, rather than their intent. So we ask ourselves, or someone we trust, ‘What aren’t I getting here? What’s my part in this? Is there some attitude in me that needs to change?’
We remember that Jesus holds us, and all our angers and frustrations, as he went to the cross. There is the power of love that guides us, and transforms us, sdo that we are not always thinking about ourselves, but are free to show love and care to those around you.
