Dear Lord,
May those who love us love us.
And those that don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts.

And if He doesn’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping.

Interesting Prayer however our Lord seems to be suggesting something different in the following passage. I think you may be familiar with it.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. “For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? “If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? “Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Yeah, those Irish don't always pray right.
