Ten Habits of Deeply Angry People and how you can avoid them
We owe every good to God
I advise you to lead a life of thanksgiving. All that we have, whether much or little, we owe to God. Nothing good comes from ourselves. If ever you find yourselves filling up with pride, raise your eyes to heaven and you will see that anything noble and clean that is in you, you owe to God.
St. Josemaría,
Notes taken during his preaching,
in Álvaro del Portillo, Rendere amabile la verità, Libreria Editrice Vaticano, 1995, p. 49
Topics: pride, thanksgiving
Bitterness never serves any purpose but to embitter. St Vincent Ferrer says there can be no profit from a sermon if it is not preached from depth of compassion. (…) The spirit of compassion is the one means of touching the hearts of people. If we fight the devil in a spirit of pride and complacency we shall never vanquish him, for his pride and complacency are greater than ours; but if we work against him in humility we shall overcome him, for he has none of these weapons, and he is unable to defend himself against them. [p. 103]
