Deut. 26:16-19

Matthew 5:43-48

   
Scripture
"But I say to you, love your enemies . . . "
Reflection
We grow in wisdom and strength among our friends. We learn goodness and kindness; we develop a sense of loyalty, duty, charity and humor. We learn to love. But to love our enemies? Oh, Lord, you expect too much of us. What has my enemy ever taught me?-other than to move beyond my comfort level, to consider another point of view, to take care of myself in dark stretches, to be watchful of moving objects, to be a little more careful of love than of anything.
Mantra
Help me move beyond my comfort.
