Rage and Anger… Disfigure Even the Most Beautiful Face
26-Oct-96
The Lord
DH-57
Calm down, little one, today we are going to address a topic I would like you to reflect on for the next few hours.
I want you to know that anger is similar to fire, since just as fire is vehement and violent when it gets stronger and
cannot be seen for the smoke it emits, so anger makes man commit a thousand excesses and does not let him see what he is
doing.
Do not be bad tempered like that, because rage is so harmful to man that it disfigures even the most beautiful and
pleasant face, making it look like a furious monster who spreads terror all around it. If this is what it does
externally, can you imagine how it disfigures the inside before My eyes? Let us talk about it.
Rage often makes men rush towards revenge, blasphemy, insults, backbiting, scandals and even worse, because it darkens
reason and makes the human being act irrationally or crazy. Read Job 7,7. Rage makes man lose all his prudence, often
his reason and sleep.
While you are feeling irritated, your fellow man’s action will seem like a grave and unforgivable insult, but then when
your anger dies down you realize things were not as bad as you had thought.
When rage assaults you, pray for Me to release you from your violent passions. How many people who cannot control their
anger, blaspheme terribly against Me and My saints! The irascible have an unhappy life, since they are always in a
violent, agitated situation, like a storm.
