An effective prayer for when you are feeling angry
This prayer was composed by St. Jerome, who had his own struggles with anger. The feeling of anger is not in itself a sin, as with all emotions. However, anger can very easily lead to other sins, including sinful wrath, and culminate in desires that are extremely harmful. If acted upon, anger can produce some of the greatest evils, sever-ing a relationship with God.
It doesn’t have to be that way. First of all, God wants us to talk to him in our anger.
Pope Francis related in a homily how God likes to argue with us, “He likes it when
you get angry and tell him what you feel to his face because he is a father!” God wants
to be involved in our lives, even when we are angry.
Often when we talk to God in our anger we are able to calm down and God restores peace in our hearts. It happened numerous times in the Bible and can be the case for us as well.
Another way to combat anger is to pray to the patron saint against anger, St. Jerome.
St. Jerome is most widely known for his translation of the Bible into the form of Latin most commonly read at the time (the Vulgate). He started out his priestly ministry as a hermit leading a life of asceticism outside of Antioch.

االحد السادس من الرسل مجد هللا يكمن في خالص االنسان. فحينما نقتل االنسان، فهل يتحقق مجده؟
إن بداية نبوءة اشعيا تبرهن مثل الفصول الثالث االولى من رسالة بولس الرسول إلى اهل رومية، عن ان االنسان ُمذنب ويحتاج إلى التبرير، وما حدثنا عنه النبي في الفصل االول )االحد الماضي(
بخصوص الحالة االدبية الوضيعة للشعب، يختلف عّما يُحدثنا عنه في الفصل الثاني )هذا االحد( عن مجد هذا الشعب المستقبلي، وما سيحدث تحت ُملك المسيح األلفي، وُحكم رئيس السالم، متطرقاً إلى
55مرة في العهد القديم، منها 051صهيون التي منها تخرج الشريعة. يرد اسم صهيون أكثر من مرة في اسفار االنبياء وخصوصاً اشعيا، حيث تُعتبر احدى االقطاب المهمة لالهوت السفر، ومعناها
غير مؤكد، وفيها يقع الهيكل والقصر الملكي )عالمتا اختيار هللا ألسرائيل(،
(، وهو المكان الذي يحتمي فيه الشعب في االزمات، لذا 8108لكونها مسكن رب القوات )حسب اش تُعتبر محط جذب لكل شعوب االرض، المدعوة للصعود إلى جبل الرب، ذاك الجبل الذي يهب العالم
مصيراً عادالً، سالماً عالمياً، وخلواً من االسلحة

THE GOOD NEWS
(Continued from page 1)
He is also “well-known as one of our crankier saints,” speaking his mind freely and making many enemies wherever he went.
Jerome’s asceticism was what saved him, as one bishop said about him while looking at a painting that had Jerome striking his breast
with a stone, “You do well to carry that stone, for without it the Church would never have canonized you” (Butler’s Lives of the
Saints).
Here is a prayer that he composed, invoking the mercy of God, for when we are angry we are in desperate need of his mercy.
O Lord, show Your mercy to me and gladden my heart. I am like the man on the way to Jericho who was overtaken by robbers, wounded and left for dead. O Good Samaritan, come to my aid. I am like the sheep that went astray. O Good Shepherd, seek me out and bring me home in accord with Your will. Let me dwell in Your house all the days of my life and praise You for ever and ever with those who are there. Amen. Alternatively, if you are really fired up, pray this short prayer that has been known to help. It can be prayed over and over again until the anger subsides.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner.
In all things, always turn to God, especially when your feelings are less than holy!

PART ONE THE PROFESSION OF FAITH
SECTION TWO
I. THE CREEDS
CHAPTER THREE I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
Article 00
"I BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY"
I. Christ's Resurrection and Ours
339 The Pharisees and many of the Lord's contemporaries hoped for the resurrection. Jesus teaches it firmly. To the Sadducees who deny it he answers, "Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God?"540 Faith in the resurrection rests on faith in God who "is not God of the dead, but of the living."541
330 But there is more. Jesus links faith in the resurrection to his own person: "I am the Resurrection and the life."542 It is Jesus himself who on the last day will raise up those who have believed in him, who have eaten his body and drunk his blood.543 Already now in this present life he gives a sign and pledge of this by restoring some of the dead to life,544 announcing thereby his own Resurrection, though it was to be of another order. He speaks of this unique event as the "sign of Jonah,"545 The sign of the temple: he announces that he will be put to death but rise thereafter on the third day.546
335 To be a witness to Christ is to be a "witness to his Resurrection," to "[have eaten and drunk] with him after he rose from the dead."547 Encounters with the risen Christ characterize the Christian hope of resurrection.
We shall rise like Christ, with him, and through him.
332 From the beginning, Christian faith in the resurrection has met with incomprehension and opposition.548 "On no point does the Christian faith encounter more opposition than on the resurrection of the body."549 It is very commonly accepted that the life of the human person continues in a spiritual fashion after death. But how can we believe that this body, so clearly mortal, could rise to everlasting life?
How do the dead rise?
335 What is "rising"? In death, the separation of the soul from the body, the human body decays and the soul goes to meet God, while awaiting its reunion with its glorified body. God, in his almighty power, will definitively grant incorruptible life to our bodies by reuniting them with our souls, through the power of Jesus' Resurrection.
338 Who will rise? All the dead will rise, "those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment."550
333 How? Christ is raised with his own body: "See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself";551 but he did not return to an earthly life. So, in him, "all of them will rise again with their own bodies which they now bear," but Christ "will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body," into a "spiritual body":552
