Yesterday’s Lenten challenge from St Andrew Memorial Anglican Church was to pray for an enemy. You would think priest don’t have enemies, but unfortunately that isn’t true. Priest are human, and we hold grudges. So yesterday I prayed for one of my “Newmans” (Senfeild reference).

Do I think I have overcome my bitterness? No. But swallowing my pride and praying for the “other” is a good experience and especially helps me know that even if I disagree with others, I can still love them…if only at a distance for now.

And in case you are curious, no I didn’t pray for the Leafs…baby steps.
