Friday of the First Week of Lent

Blessed are you who hears My voice and follows
My way with an upright heart. Be perfect as I your
heavenly Father am perfect. Love your enemies and
pray for those who persecute you. This transforms
your heart and starts to melt the hardened heart of
your persecutors. Pray for those you dislike with love.
As you interact in praying to Me for them, you receive
My love and live out the action of My
transforming love. It is you who must change first.
