“Love your enemies.” We know it as one of the hallmarks of being Christian. But practicing it in the heat of conflict and in the face of our enemies is just plain hard. In First Samuel, we read of David being pursued by King Saul. Saul wants to kill him. He is David’s enemy. But David refuses to kill him, even when the perfect opportunity presents itself.

The Women's Council event, "Respect is the Heart of Love," took place on Saturday, Feb. 12 with Fr. Kartje.

I think one of the great gifts of faith in God is that we anchor ourselves in hope. We take a step away from a view of life as meaningless…a mere accident, and put our hope in something greater. With God, we take a step beyond life as mere survival. With God, we dare to dream. I think that each of today’s readings, in their own way, dare us to dream beyond how things appear to be on the surface
