PERSECUTORS
- pray for persecutors,
[Jesus said:] "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your
neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of the
Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the
good, and sends rain on the righteous and unrighteous. If you love
those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax
collectors doing that? And if you greet only brothers, what are you
doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect,
therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
(Matthew 5:43-48)
