Our priest said this evening that when Jesus gave that Commandment, he also gave His followers the power to obey it, in His Spirit, through His presence dwelling in us. He said that in Christ, becoming Christlike, we really could love as He did ... love the unlovable, love the people who hate us, love the people we least want to love ... and not simply act the part.
I was baby-wrassling, so I may have missed a key point or two, but I caught that much!
LOL!
