Loving our enemies is one of the most challenging and transformative teachings. It calls us to rise above resentment and hatred, and to act with kindness and generosity towards those who do not treat us well. This type of love expects nothing in return and mirrors divine mercy, which does not discriminate between the good and the bad. By practicing this love, we draw closer to the essence of God, who is compassionate and merciful to all, even the ungrateful and wicked. This practice not only transforms our relationships with others but also transforms ourselves, bringing us closer to the true nature of divine love. It invites us to see every person as a child of God, deserving of love and respect, regardless of their actions. This, in turn, allows us to live a more fulfilling life in harmony with the principles of the Gospel. The reward of this selfless love is great, not just in spiritual terms, but also in the peace and satisfaction it brings to our lives.
But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.
Luke 6:35
