Can anyone recommend any helpful devotions for someone struggling hard to overcome anger and bitterness toward people in general?

Welcome to CAF, ronnette. I hope you will like it here very much!
1- Ah! my favorite Saint is Saint Rita:
childmary.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=103
(there is prayer at the end of the page)
2- I am working on my temper as well - it’s been a year. The root of my temper is pride.
So, here is the Station of the Cross devotion:
childmary.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=100
3- and then, I am about to add St. Therese Little Flower to my devotions - being a childlike one.

There are prayers there and you can subscribe to the site, each day you receive a quote from the Saint. I try to mediate on her quote during the day. Honestly, I tend to forget all the time.

A few things come to mind (and these usually do for many things!). One is the Rosary.
Another is prayer for St. Therese’s intercession - she was a master of dealing with small irritations. 
Another thing that might be helpful is an examination of conscience every night (remembering how you’ve acted with other’s, too) and then, at least monthly confession. 
I’ve really been working on this myself
and these have helped me.

The Contrary Virtue against Anger is Patience, so:
Prayer for Patience:
olcshrine.com/prayer_patience.html
The Litany of Patience: (down the page a ways)
episcopalnet.org/TRACTS/litanypatience.html
and because I think the **Litany of Humility **might be helpful:
ewtn.com/Devotionals/prayers/humility.htm
finally, the Patron Saint Against Anger:
culturalcatholic.com/SaintJerome.htm

I can’t help it, I love devotions, and spreading devotions can only help the world, right? IMO, the world needs a lot of help, so we need to spread a lot of devotions.
I agree about the saint; totally creepy. If I met him in real life I’d probably run screaming the other way.

Yes. Shouldn’t you have a database for all this devotion somewhere?
It is quite handy when someone asks.

well, take a closer look, he seems to be very gentle.

I read something once that really helped me. I wish I knew if it was a quote from a Saint, but I don’t. Anyway, paraphrasing, it said,
“If someone’s actions vex you, pray for them. And, you, yourself, practice the opposite virtue.” :getholy:
