Thursday of the 10th Week in Ordinary Time

            Christ continues the Sermon on the Mount, telling the disciples they must be more righteous than the Pharisees to enter Heaven. He then proceeds to teach about anger; those who are angry “will be liable to fiery Gehenna.”

            Fr. Daniel preaches on the importance of reconciliation. What prevents us from being reconciled one to another is anger, often illegitimate, which is a “smoldering trash heap.” We must follow Christ, who certainly did have a reason to be angry, and set anger aside, for we have no guarantee, in God’s court of perfect justice, that our anger is justified.
