Lord Jesus,

You invite us today to love not only those who love us but also those who hate us. Your command of love our enemies is set in parallel with the invitation to pray for those who persecute us. Help us your followers to work toward building up your Kingdom where peace, justice and truth prevail. Help us to recognize your image in all people and to love them as you would love them. May we see in in each other the need of redemption. May we continue to pray for our “enemies” and may our hearts reach out their hearts so that they may find restoration and reconciliation. Gracious and compassionate God, help us your children to be gracious and compassionate as you are.

Amen.

Fr. Leo Hambur, OSM
