To hear Jesus tell people to love one another, you would think it is so simple!
We see that it is difficult when Jesus comes to say:
« Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. And pray for those who persecute and slander you. »(Matthew 5:44)
Indeed, nothing is ordinary than to love those who love us or to greet our brothers.
What is not ordinary and what differentiates the children of God from others is precisely this strength that Christ gives us to also love those who hate us, and to bless those who curse us.
And frankly speaking, as long as we have not yet reached that threshold of being able to love our enemies, we have no right to claim to be children of this God who rains rain on the just and the unjust.
We deceive ourselves.
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, give us strength to love those who hate us.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
