beatitudes-150x150 JESUS GIVES THE BEATITUDES  AND TEACHES ABOUT LOVING ENEMIES (Luke 6,31)

(Mount of Beatitudes with the Sea of Galilee in the background).

Jesus wasn’t talking about having affection for enemies; He was talking about an act of will. You can’t “fall into” this kind of love – it takes conscious effort. Loving our enemies means acting in their best interests – to pray for them, to think of ways to help them. Grant your enemies the same respect and rights as you desire for yourself
