You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.<\/p>\n

(The Gospel According to Saint Matthew, Chapter 5, verses 43-45)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Almighty and eternal Father,
\nYou made man in your own image and likeness
\nand you sent your only-begotten Son
\nto pour out His Divine Mercy upon
\nthe whole of Your creation.
\nHave mercy, we pray, on the soul of your creature
\nOsama bin Laden,
\nwho named us his enemies in life.
\nIn death may he be reconciled to you,
\nthe Author of all reconciliation.
\nWe ask this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
\nwho lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
\none God, for ever and ever.
\nAmen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
