When I was younger I felt that I had many enemies. These thoughts tormented me and made me crawl away from social life. When I was a young teacher I too felt that many of my students wanted to get away from their teachers and other adults, treating us like enemies. So I started to try to read more about "enemies" . Many of our enemies are imaginary. some are real of course. Some we do not know we have made because of our own doing. There are other reasons why we have enemies, or why we are enemies of others. We need to resolve our problems through God's blessings and grace.
But it is important to pray for our enemies. It may take a long time for our prayers to be answered!!
Prayer:
God, the Father of all, whose Son commanded us to love our enemies.
We thank you for this important guideline.
Lead them and us from prejudice to truth; deliver them and us from hatred, cruelty, and revenge.
And may your Divine Grace help us all to stand reconciled before you. We know it may take time. So grant us the patience to wait upon your Will. And in the meantime help us develop a compassionate heart and an objective mind.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
