The Lord says in the Gospel, "Love your enemies." You do in fact love your enemy when you do not brood over the evil another has done to you, but grieve instead over the sin on the other's soul, while continuing to act with love for the love of God.

Yes, Marie Cecile, I know of nothing as difficult as loving my enemies. When someone hurts me, I have to make a conscious effort to immediately offer up a prayer for that person rather than lash back at them. It's tuff.
