...Especially beware of anger, which does not create the righteousness of God (James 1:20). Pray and re-read my letters, in which I have been told more than once: if we do not fulfill the commandments of God - love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who oppress you and persecute you (see Matt. 5:4) - then how do we differentiate the 17 from the pagans, who only love those who love! If you want to be angry, then be angry and indignant at the invisible arsonists with whom you were surrounded, as you saw in a vision. They try to confuse and confuse everyone under plausible pretexts, like predatory and evil wolves in sheep's clothing.
Therefore, be prudent and prudent and careful not to rush to get upset, which will be followed by soul-harming anger and indignation and so on... (2, part 3, p. 63).
No one should justify their irritability by some illness: it comes from pride. But the anger of man, according to the word of the holy Apostle James, does not create the righteousness of God (James 1:20). In order not to indulge in irritability and anger, one should not rush (3, p. 228).
...An irritable state of mind comes, firstly, from pride, which is not done according to our desire and view of things, and secondly, from unbelief that fulfilling God’s commandments in this place will not bring you any benefit (2, part 1, p. 200).
Irritability is not tamed by fasting, but by humility and self-reproach and the consciousness that we are worthy of such an unpleasant situation (2, part 1, p. 199).
...Make it a rule not to say anything to your mother or sister when you are outraged by their injustice. Go away and, no matter what your mother says, be silent, take the Gospel and read, even if you don’t understand anything at that moment. Set out to do everything only for the Lord and do as much as you can. You are more indignant at what you are doing beyond your strength: you take on a lot, but you can’t handle it. You have little strength, but you want to do a lot, which is why you become irritated that they don’t seem to appreciate your work and sacrifices. Do your best for the Lord’s sake, and don’t be upset when people don’t appreciate you. Remember that you did not do it for their sake, but for the sake of God, and expect rewards from the Lord, and not from people (1, part 2, p. 14).
