Anger can arise suddenly, but we do not have to keep feeding it. When bitterness is allowed to grow inside us, it can shape our words, actions, and relationships. We can examine what we carry in our hearts and choose love instead, treating each person with the care we would give to Jesus.
Inspired by Chiara Lubich
Word of Life, February 1987
Prayer for Wise Words
Jesus, help us notice anger before it takes root in us. Teach us to let go of bitterness and let love guide the way we speak and treat one another. Amen.
A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away.
