We
are to remember His words
His
prayer for us
which
He groaned aloud
while
dying on the cross:
“Forgive
them, Father,
the
broken, the wayward;
Forgive
them all,
for
they know not
what
they have done.
We
are to love our neighbors
even
the strangers
to
love our enemies
as
God loved us
we
are to love our brothers,
our
sisters, our children
through
the eyes
of
Jesus the Christ
