St. Dominic de Guzman was a Castilian-French Catholic priest and the founder of the Dominican Order. He once remarked that it is better to be a hammer than an anvil. He was speaking of the need to master one’s passions or else they’ll master you; in other words, exercise self-control, which is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:23). As the apostle Paul intoned, we must not become a slave to anything (1 Corinthians 6:12). Get the hammer ready.
