“You have heard the law that says,
‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy.
But I say; Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven.
For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.
If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much.
If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.

'If your faith would be just the size of a mustard seed, and you will say to this mountain: Move from here to there! It will move. Nothing will be impossible for you!’ ~Mt 17:20
One of my favorite songs, “Nearer my God to Thee”, sung by an a cappella all men’s choir.
The words at the beginning are Latin, here is a translation: In articulo mortis // At the moment of death Caelitus mihi vires // My strength is from heaven Deo adjuvante non timendum // God helping, nothing should be feared In perpetuum // Forever Dirige nos Domine // Direct us, O Lord Ad augusta per angusta // To high places by narrow roads Sic itur ad astra // Such is the path to the stars Excelsior // Ever upward
