Laughter reveals the heart as surely as words do. Clement of Alexandria warns that laughter without measure betrays a soul out of tune, while modest joy reflects reason’s harmony (Ecclesiasticus 21:20). Augustine writes to Jerome with humility, seeking unity in Scripture even amid differing translations—a reminder that the Church’s concord depends on charity as much as accuracy (Romans 14:19). Thomas Aquinas examines anger’s object, teaching that true anger is always directed toward a rational being, not toward things or beasts (Ephesians 4:26). Together they call us to discipline both emotion and intellect under the rule of reason and love.

Readings:

Clement of Alexandria, The Instructor, Book 2, Chapter 5

Augustine of Hippo, Letter 71 to Jerome

Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 2–2, Question 47, Article 1
