My Religion for Today
My religion reading today was about how we should love our neighbour and our enemy.
It said that it is not required of us to love our enemies in that sense of word, but to wish them goodwill.
An example they give is that, no matter how cruel or mean, we should forgive our enemies and pray that they are forgiven and go to heaven.
It also says that we should not lose our tempers and call them names or hurt them.
Another thing that isn't right is to ignore them and have nothing to do with them. We should always pay attention and be happy to talk if they talk to you.
St. John wrote that "Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer." We should always remember this and try to wish goodwill to everyone and pray that they go to heaven, even offoring up the pain they cause to God for their salvation.
I found this chapter interesting, especially for those times when I have a fight with my brothers.
