9/13/26 Blind Spots: Anger

ASCENSION
About this episode

Homily from the Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

There's angrily resisting reality...and there is saying "yes" to Life.

Anger as a Blind Spot doesn't necessarily mean "rage" or "seething". But sometimes the Blind Spot os anger is the subtle, chronic disposition towards Life. Rather than responding to Life, a person can choose to embrace the attitude of resenting Life.

Mass Readings from September 13, 2026: Sirach 27:30—28:7 Psalm 103:1-2, 3-4, 9-10, 11-12Romans 14:7-9
