“The basic obstacle, however, to overcoming our anger
towards our enemies is our thought that, unless we have the strength of anger,
they will trample us. Anger, to this way of thinking is protective. It gives
strength to resist. Without it we are weak.” (Robert Thurman, Love Your Enemies,
p. 10).
“….but
he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in
weakness.” So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the
power of Christ may dwell in me.” (St Paul, 2 Cor. 12:9).
Today, I pray the Holy Spirit to help me to become more and
more awaere of how much I am caught up in the illusion that my anger is protective and
makes me strong. I ask that Christ show me the grace of the strength of His
weakness so that I increase in love. Amen.
