The Charity of Friendship

Matt 5, 43: ‘You have learnt how it was said: You must love your neighbour and hate your enemy. But I say this to you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you; in this way you will be sons of your Father in heaven, for he causes his sun to rise on bad men as well as good, and his rain to fall on honest and dishonest men alike. We make friends by loving them. The answer to our loving others is almost always a deep and abiding friendship. No matter who they are, or what they believe.
