Love Your Enemies

In today's Gospel reading, Jesus calls us to love our enemies. It is only through our prayer life which brings us into relationship with our God that this is possible. in our human weakness, we find it difficult if not impossible to always love our family and friends. How much more difficult it is to love those we consider our enemies or those we know do not love or even like us. The true test of your relationship with God is in your treatment of others - all others. For God works through us as we open ourselves up to his presence. Spend at least 15 minutes in quiet prayer today.
