Drifting on, increasing the list of those you dislike, avoid them at all costs, cutting off family and friends is not the message that Jesus Christ was trying to bring. Hard as it is to expunge dislike for those you are unkind or worst to us, we have to keep an open heart; otherwise they infect us with the poison from a relationship gone wrong, that we carry that in us, infecting all we do.
Gospel Mt 5:43-48
Daily prayers and meditations 
It is truly hard to continue being kind to someone who has deliberately hurt you very deeply, especially when they cannot accept they hurt you and, instead act the injured party.
Recently a person I really trusted – and who had been my Spiritual Director – turned to me one day and bluntly told me that all my prayers, fastings, Eucharistic Adorations, and my Sacramental Life as an Eucharistic Apostle of the Divine Mercy were all useless, hypocritical and Pharisaic. I was devastated and had to seek immediate help from one of the Priests who minister to us during the Divine Mercy 1st and 3rd Saturday Prayer Days. After he listened to my harrowing experience, he emphatically told me that that was a vicious attack from the Evil One. I had resolved to abandon my daily Holy Communions and weekly Confessions. But Father told me that was exactly what Satan wanted me to do in order to weaken me Spiritually. This person, an Ordained Priest, had sought refuge in my Home, at the request of the Sisters of Mary Immaculate where he had sought refuge first, when he had a crisis with his Congregation who kicked him out.
Only later, after he had moved out of my Home did I come to learn he had developed a secret close friendship with my House Maid, and she had told him I was uneasy of our living arrangements. I kept advising her on how to relate to him appropriately as an Ordained Priest. She, of course, ignored my advice and I began to sense something was not right in our living arrangements but I could not quite know what it was. But since she told him my misgivings that is what made him turn nasty against me and tried to destroy my Faith. Had I not been a Cradle Catholic – a few months shy of 74 years – with a firm foundation from my childhood in the Catholic Faith, his harsh condemnation would surely have made me walk out of the Church never to come back.
But when I realized where the virulent anger was coming from, I was able to forgive him. And since the girl could not continue working for me, I dismissed her after Father moved out. That also made him very angry and he sent me a very abusive note, calling me an Apostle of Divine Mercy who had fired her Maid without Mercy, yet I had given her Notice because she had not heeded my advice and forged a friendship with my Guest and I had even twice asked Father to find her another job because I could no longer trust her.
We continue to meet with Father at Weekday Mass and I have severally apologized to him – even though it is me he had wronged. Yet each time I meet him I sense he is not either able or willing to forgive me.
Should I begin to avoid him and save him the embarrassment he feels, or just continue to be kind to him and praying for him as I have been repeatedly advised during the Confession?
