We should always pray for everyone who grieves or reviles us for whatever cause and for all who are hostile toward us because of an evil disposition, and, indeed, for all the faithful and unfaithful, in order that we may attain to perfection and they be delivered from error and draw near the truth.

My prayer is that all will come to have a close and loving relationship with the Lord of life who loves us with an everlasting love and who enables us to love others. Thank you for sharing this prayer.
