Meditatio: “But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you.”
Mt 5.22

Oratio: “"O God, your ways are spirit and life.

I remember Jesus told us how to be perfect - to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us - how challenging and how fruitful!

Grant that I may be merciful in words and deeds to those whom I meet whether friend or foe for that is your way..

I ask this of you, who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.”
