"Jesus tells us to love our enemies!"

"We too often we become enemies of others: we do not wish them well.

"And Jesus tells us to love our enemies!

"And this is not easy! It is not easy... we even think that Jesus is asking too much of us! We leave this to the cloistered nuns, who are holy, we leave this for some holy soul, but this is not right for everyday life.  But it must be right! 

"Jesus says: 'No, we must do this!  Because otherwise you will be like the tax collectors, like pagans.  Not Christians.'" 

(Pope Francis, June 18, 2013)
