Praying for Political Opponents (Do It Now)

I’m not proud of this story, but unfortunately it’s important. The aforementioned Fr. Landry called me the morning after Barack Obama was elected. Back then, I was editor of this website, and we had had a busy night. After acknowledging that, Father asked me if I had prayed for the president-elect. The audacity!, was my first, shameful reaction. It was too soon. Of course, it is never too soon to pray. And I had not.

For humanity, pray. For Joe Biden. For Donald Trump. For Pope Francis. For your brother. For each and every one. Especially if you’re talking/complaining about him.
