“… Such generosity of spirit could not go unrewarded by God, for whom this priest slaved the 72 years of his life. Besides providing for his work, God gave him the gift of miracles. With his blessing, Don Bosco cured people disease. After his prayers on their behalf, the deaf heard, the lame walked, and once, a dead boy was raised to life. He had the gift of prophecy. He could read consciences, and used this gift to assist penitents in confession. He could foretell one’s vocation, as well as one’s future. …”

CATHOLIC FAITHWATCH: “What’s destroying some Catholic marriages? The answer may surprise you” – CNA

“‘Anger is a poison,’ Fr. [Thomas] Morrow, a moral theologian and author of ‘Overcoming Sinful Anger’ [said] … ‘If a husband and a wife are angry with each other a lot, it destroys the relationship. … often … anger morphs into sinful anger … motivated by a desire for revenge … And this sinful anger has a devastating effect on relationships. …”

According to CNA, Morrow suggested that:

  • when persons encounter the potential for anger …
  • they should first decide if an issue is significant enough to get angry over …
  • if so, they should consider whether, even if anger is justified, confrontation would promote the good of the other …
  • if so, humor or diplomacy should be used  …
  • if a confrontation would not promote the good of the other, offer the anger to God as a sacrifice for one’s sins and those of the world

Morrow cited the example of Saint Monica. When provoked by her husband, Saint Monica would wait for her husband’s own emotions to subside before approaching him to discuss the impact of his actions and her reasons for concern.  Saint Monica, of course, eventually converted both her husband and her son, Saint Augustine.
