Fr. Chad Ripperger delivers a profound teaching on the virtue of meekness, one of the most misunderstood virtues in the spiritual life. Drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas, Fr. Ripperger explains how meekness moderates anger, strengthens self-mastery, fosters humility, and helps Catholics grow in holiness.

In this conference, Fr. Ripperger explores the true nature of anger as a "perception of injury with a desire for vindication," the role of mortification in overcoming emotional reactions, the relationship between meekness and masculinity, and why Christ and Our Lady are the perfect models of self-control and virtue.

He also examines the "daughters of anger" identified by St. Thomas Aquinas—including indignation, rumination, quarrelsomeness, blasphemy, and injurious speech—and offers practical spiritual remedies rooted in humility, detachment, mortification, devotion to the Sacred Heart, and authentic Catholic spirituality.

Whether you struggle with anger, resentment, impatience, or wounded pride, this lecture offers timeless wisdom for developing true Christian meekness and interior peace.
