[pre-homily note on attending daily Mass during Lent. Please note: I mistakenly said that only Lent has proper Masses for each of the weekdays, that is no longer the case as there are now proper Masses for the weekdays of Advent as well. Traditionally (prior to Vatican II), Lent was unique in this respect. Even still, the weekdays of Lent are of an higher rank than the Advent weekdays and "trump" most saints' feast days -- thus, the essential point remains the same, namely, that the daily Masses of Lent have a unique character and importance in the Liturgical Year.]
"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."
It is truly divine to be able to love our enemies -- Jesus proves his divinity by his love for his enemies.
To love means to sacrifice. If we love our enemies, then we will be sacrificing for them -- prayer and fasting.
