Quote:
When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply
within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punish-
ment, he needs help. ~ Thich Naht Hanh, Vietnamese Buddhist

Matthew 5:44
Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
Prayer:
My Savior,
May I understand that when someone lashes out at me, it is
because of their own pain welling up within them and spilling over.
Make me an instrument of Your peace and grace that I somehow
touch their lives and relieve their suffering. In Your holy name I pray.Amen.
