Youcat commented through CCC – Question n. 293 – Part I.
(Youcat
answer) We have passions so that through strong emotions and distinct feelings
we might be attracted to what is right and good and repelled from what is evil
and bad.
A deepening through CCC
(CCC 1762) The human person is ordered to
beatitude by his deliberate acts: the passions or feelings he experiences can
dispose him to it and contribute to it. (CCC 1771)
The term "passions" refers to the affections or the feelings. By his
emotions man intuits the good and suspects evil. (CCC 1763) The term "passions" belongs to the
Christian patrimony. Feelings or passions are emotions or movements of the
sensitive appetite that incline us to act or not to act in regard to something
felt or imagined to be good or evil.
Reflecting and meditating
(Youcat comment) God made man in such a way that he can love
and hate, desire or despise something, be attracted by some things and afraid
of others, be full of joy, sorrow, or anger. In the depths of his heart man always
loves good and hates evil—or what he considers
to be such.
(CCC Comment)
(CCC 1764) The
passions are natural components of the human psyche; they form the passageway
and ensure the connection between the life of the senses and the life of the
mind. Our Lord called man's heart the source from which the passions spring
(Cf. Mk 7:21). (CCC 1772) The principal
passions are love and hatred, desire and fear, joy, sadness, and anger.
