Samuel 26:2, 7-9, 12-15, 22-23, Ps 102: 1-4, 8, 10, 12-13; 1 Cor 15:45-49, Luke 6: 27-38

bless the Lord
my soul
for you have
turned
our hearts
to love
even our enemies
fall within
love’s power
saved from the sword
we come
to know
you mercy
your spirit
in us
we give
in your infinite
measure
giving up
judgment
for compassion
knowing
nothing essential
can be taken
from us
we give
our cloak
our cheek
our Life

Do you love your enemy?
Do you pray for those who mistreat you?
What is your measure?
