“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” (Matt 544)

Think of a person or people that you feel have wronged you, in the distant or more recent past or in the present.  Reverence your feelings of pain and hold yourself with compassion.  Now think of the person who has hurt you, envisioning them as a beloved child of God.  Pray for their wholeness, their peace and their well-being.

Prayer: All-loving God, help me to forgive others as I am forgiven, and never to store up anger or malice.
