br.writeln("<DT style=\"margin-left:0in;text-indent:.2in\">Humanly speaking, love of one&rsquo;s enemies is impossible, &ldquo;contrary to nature&rdquo;: the leopard cannot change his spots, as we say. So love of our enemies is the thing that is different, the thing that is divine. &ldquo;He makes his sun rise upon the evil&mdash;on the evil first of all&mdash;and on the good.&rdquo; Love of our enemies is the secret of Jesus that corresponds to God himself. Jesus blessed the people who cursed him. He prayed for the people who tortured him. He did not retaliate, but took suffering upon himself for love&rsquo;s sake. He died for his enemies on the cross. And so he died for us.");
