John 8:44b ... the devil was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

THE WORLD GIVES SO MUCH IMPORTANCE TO SKIN DEEP BEAUTY. S0… Just as you start to give in to the evil spirit of ANGER - go in front of a mirror to see for yourself - its ugly expressions !
The spirit of God is a spirit of peace, and also in the case of grave sin, it makes us feel tranquil sorrow, humble, confident, and this is due precisely to His mercy. The spirit of the demon, on the contrary, excites, exasperates, and makes us in our sorrow feel something like anger against ourselves, whereas our first charity must be to ourselves, and so if certain thoughts agitate you, this agitation never comes from God, who gives tranquillity, being the Spirit of Peace.
Such agitation comes from the devil.
St. Pio of Pietrelcina
ONLY GOD FADES AWAY YOUR ANGER WRINKLES AND INSTILLS EXPRESSIONS OF JOY – free, without cosmetic surgery expenses - He fills you with the joy...not the instant joy that the world imposes on us AND that evaporates instantly, but the joy that you only experience when you come closer to Him.
THE LOVE OF JESUS FOR EACH ONE OF US, SHEDS TEARS OF JOY FROM OUR HEART....

Mt 5:20-26 -- ...your righteousness ... - ...il-ħajja tajba tagħkom...
[Mt:5:20] "Ngħidilkom li, jekk il-ħajja tajba tagħkom ma tkunx ħafna aħjar minn dik tal-kittieba u l-Fariżej, ma tidħlux fis-Saltna tas-Smewwiet.
Il-korla
(Lq 12, 57-59)
[Mt:5:21] "Smajtu xi ntqal lin-nies ta' dari, 'La toqtolx.' Mela jekk xi ħadd joqtol ikun ħaqqu l-kundanna. [Mt:5:22] Imma jien ngħidilkom li l-kundanna tistħoqq ukoll lil min jinkorla għal ħuh. Jekk imbagħad xi ħadd lil ħuh jgħidlu, 'Ġifa', ikun ħaqqu l-kundanna tas-Sinedriju; u jekk jgħidlu, 'Iblah', ikun ħaqqu n-nar ta' l-infern. [Mt:5:23] Mela jekk tkun qiegħed ittalla' l-offerta tiegħek fuq l-artal u hemm tiftakar li ħuk għandu xi ħaġa kontra tiegħek, [Mt:5:24] ħalli l-offerta tiegħek hemmhekk quddiem l-artal u mur l-ewwel irranġa ma' ħuk, u mbagħad ejja talla' l-offerta tiegħek. [Mt:5:25] Lil min ikun se jtellgħek il-qorti ħudu bil-kelma t-tajba mill-aktar fis waqt li tkun għadek miegħu fit-triq, li ma jmurx jagħtik f'idejn l-imħallef, u l-imħallef f'idejn l-għassies, u hekk issib ruħek fil-ħabs. [Mt:5:26] Tassew ngħidlek, minn hemm ġew ma toħroġx qabel ma tkun ħallast l-aħħar tliet ħabbiet.

GOSPEL:
Mk 7:14-23 -- What comes out of a person is what defiles - X'inhu li jtabba' lill-bniedem
X'inhu li jtabba' lill-bniedem
(Mt 15, 10-20)
[Mk:7:14] Raġa' sejjaħ in-nies lejh u qalilhom: "Isimgħuni, intom ilkoll, u ifhmuni! [Mk:7:15] Ma hemm xejn minn barra li meta jidħol fi bniedem itebbgħu; imma dak li joħroġ minn ġol-bniedem, dak hu li jtabba' lill-bniedem."
[Mk:7:17] Meta ħalla n-nies u daħal id-dar, id-dixxipli tiegħu staqsewh fuq il-parabbola. [Mk:7:18] U hu qalilhom: "Intom ukoll daqshekk bla moħħ? Ma tifhmux li xejn ma jista' jtabba' lill-bniedem minn dak li jidħol ġo fih minn barra, [Mk:7:19] la darba dan mhux fil-qalb imur, iżda fl-istonku, biex imbagħad jintrema fil-ħofra?" B'hekk wera li l-ikel kollu hu safi. [Mk:7:20] U qalilhom: "Dak li joħroġ minn ġol-bniedem, dak hu li jtabba' lill-bniedem. [Mk:7:21] Għax hu minn ġewwa, mill-qalb tal-bniedem, li joħorġu l-ħsibijiet il-ħżiena, żína, serq, qtil ,[Mk:7:22] adulterju, regħba, ħażen, qerq, libertinaġġ, għira, malafama, suppervja u bluha. [Mk:7:23] Dal-ħażen kollu minn ġewwa joħroġ u jtabba' lill-bniedem."
