GOOD NEI^IS Levhicus r9:r.-2, r7-r8 I r Cqrinthian: 3:e6-23 I Matthew 538-+n8

"But I sayto you, love your enemies." l've never met a person who found this command easy to follow. Some people practice every day and are better at k than others; l've been fortunate to know one ortwo of them.

Most of us are good at loving inthe abstract. As an lrish Catholic, llove the people who continr.re the troubles in lreland. As an Arnerican, I love those who have attacked our country and those who embrace a different political view.

It's pretty easy to love people you don't know. Where I fall down is in the concrete, day-to-day loving. I find it really hard to love the people who dont love or even like me. I find it even harder to love those who have hurt me or members of my family. The difficulty of Jesus' words strike home when they become personal. We come face to face with our own unloving ways and unloving hearts.

This is precisely where the grace of baptism comes into play. lt's natural to feel hur.t and anger when someone wounds us deeply. lt's human to want to return hurt for hult with words, behaviors, or even fists.

Jesus invites us into a different path--one from which we can love others in their woundedness and receive the love and healing of God for our own wounds. Jesus knows that only the path of love leeds to life. Any other path will lead to our even-tual destruction.

Whom doyou needto lovetoday?

Some days we feel like we want to love our sPouse and make him or her feel loved and special. But it can be such a mystery to know and be able to
