Chapter 4 – versus 22-28: “Not to gratify anger: not to harbor a desire of revenge…. Once again I reminded that resentments are poison for me. I can’t indulge in self righteous anger even if it might seem justified. The reflection on the rule fully illuminates the problem if we do give into anger. “At times of stress, I find myself enmeshed in a complex pattern of self denunciation, guilt, frustration and weariness that effectively blocks me from being aware of what is going on.” Anger blocks me from being able to communicate, to understand another’s perspective or from even being able to pray. It is not until I can focus on Christ again does the blockage give way to freedom.
