**Jealousy, envy, resentment**

We had a visiting priest yesterday who asked us to re-read all the readings from 1 John, where he keeps telling us to love God and love our neighbor.

Then he said this is difficult sometimes because these people may have hurt us.

So he said “Pray for them.”
Do kind things for them.
Speak well of them.

And do not pray for yourself except to ask for the wisdom to do the above three things.

Powerful. I prayed for a lady off and on all day yesterday after that sermon.
