Forgiveness is Healing

Fr. George Morelli


And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).
In almost every spiritual text anger is listed as one of several deadly sins. In his classic work, The Ladder of Divine Ascent, St. John of the Ladder, (1982) discusses anger in the eighth step of the ladder; and anger's dependent vice malice in the ninth step of the ladder. St. John tells us: "Anger is an indication of concealed hatred, of grievance nursed. Anger is the wish to harm someone who has provoked you. Irascibility is an untimely flaring up of the heart. Bitterness is a stirring of the soul's capacity for displeasure. Anger is ... a disfigurement of the soul."
Cognitive Clinical Psychology and Anger
Current research psychology has helped us understand dysfunctional emotions such as anger have a cognitive theme and distorted irrational cognitive structures initiating them (Beck, Shaw & Emery, 1979; Burns, 1980; Ellis, 1962).

Thanks, Aria.

Thanks, Aria.

You are welcome, Kat.

Some of the guys here are acting menopausal.

And doctors are saying that guys do go through menopause, and surprisingly, the same meds that work for women also work for the men in calming them down.

Funny, and here I thought it was that I just needed my morning cup of coffee. Until then I am something out of Night of the Living Dead

[MariaRegina]

Mitchell, you are wonderful. I wish more guys were like you.

I think you are very much alive. Not dead at all.

[Hoankan]

Like everyone, I have my sins and they are legion. And if I've offended anyone, please forgive me.

As for the zombie part, you should see me when I get up. A morning person I am most definitely not. I shuffle around, run into things and so forth until I've woken up (usually by coffee).

[Shubunkin]

Forgive me, too, if I offended anyone. :crosseo:

[xenia]

I like to make sarcastic comments about my past church affiliations. I will try not to do this anymore and please forgive me for the times that I have.

[MariaRegina]

Forgive me too for the times my postings have missed the mark.

[Orthosdoxa]

Forgive me also, anyone I have offended.

In particular, forgive me Matrona, Choirfiend, tekiateruah, and CTK.
