Pour out your heart like water
before the presence of the Lord!
Lift up your hands to him
for the lives of your children,
Who faint for hunger
at the head of every street. Lam 2:19

The Admonitions - IX Love
The Lord says: Love your enemies [do good to those who hate you and pray for those who persecute and slander you]. Mt.5:44
For that person truly loves his enemy who is not hurt by an injury done to him, but because of love of God, is stung by the sin of his soul. Let him show him love by his deeds.
