When Canon Rev. Linda Taylor concludes a service, she says:
"those you love, & those who you have difficulty loving."
I've never heard that said in place of those you hate. It has me
thinking of the power of prayer as not being limited to oneself.,
but to those who you would never have thought of praying for,
like - one's enemies. Doing this may be long understood by
those who have prayed deeply all their lives. I've only begun
to pray deeply recently - for Ginny Zeitman & myself - but
today I began to pray for her son Dan who is behaving like her
irrational adversary. If my deep prayer is sincere I hope it may
affect him. My experience with him has been deeply negative -
he suspects & hates me. If my deep prayer can transform that,
something new might come of it directly to Ginny's benefit .
This I hope & deeply pray.
