In this way, he explained that “we are not responsible for anger in its emergence, but always for its development,” while stating that “sometimes it is good for anger to vent in the appropriate way.”
“If a person never gets angry, if he is not indignant at injustice, if he does not feel something that shakes his insides at the oppression of a weak person, then it would mean that he is not human, much less a Christian,” he said.
He called this “holy indignation,” which is not anger, “but a movement from within.” He also recalled that Jesus experienced this feeling with the merchants in the Temple, where he performed “a strong and prophetic action, dictated not by anger, but by zeal for the house of the Lord.”
Finally, he pointed out that with the help of the Holy Spirit, it is possible to “find the right measure of passions” and “educate them well so that they turn towards good, and not evil.”
