The Teachings about Love of Enemies
Luke 6:27-38
Jesus said, “love your enemies, do good
To those who hate you, bless those who curse you.”
The Navarre Bible notes are instructive.
“Divine mercy is the forgiveness of sins.”
Bishop Bob Barron said, “When you turn the
Other cheek hold your ground.” The second slap
Will be less powerful; it’s a back hand.
George Halas and Vince Lombardi had great
Respect for each other. I never won
Against Art Contreras of Maryville.
I wanted my parents to adopt him.
Alan Swanson of Stony Brook and I
Tied for first in a fall cross-country race.
Together, we finished ahead of Choate.
