Lack of Self Control


According to Mother Angelica:

It is a lack of self-control that makes me--

lash out at my brother in a burst of anger,

show impatience with my neighbor,

talk about the faults of others,

speak before I think,

be intemperate in things that cause me pleasure,

buy things I cannot afford,

be brutally frank and caustic at times,

and

criticize the faults of others publicly.
