Your trouble is that you don't draw good from your trials.
Once, there was a dog people threw stones at, and in its fury, it bit the stones. Everyone laughed because the dog was breaking its teeth and solving nothing…
Look higher. Don't you know that the Lord arranges all things for the good of those who love Him? Don't you know that nothing comes to us or happens without our heavenly Father's permission?
Foolish one, do you want to be humble without humiliations, virtuous without virtues, a saint without labor? Foolish one, when will you learn to live crucified with Jesus?
All this happens to you because of your little virtue. And these fits of anger don't do any good for your soul or your body. Be sensible… all for Jesus. Be humble, and you'll have peace.
