Pray for those who persecute you.
Here is what Brecher had to say about Burns: "What is so unusual about our guest of honor
this evening is that in a profession that is so frenetically competitive--where the pressure to
make it big is so intense that often friends turn on one another --George Burns does not have
a single enemy." Brecher paused for a moment, then added, "They all died."
Who are your enemies? Pray for them!
(Matthew 5.44
NRSV)
Comedian George Burn's club gave a big dinner in honor of his ninety-fifth birthday. One of the
first speakers was Irving Brecher, the creator-writer of the popular television show of the fifties,
THE LIFE OF RILEY, and the director of many fine movies.
Dear Jesus, I pray for those who I have caused pain that you will ease it. For those who have a
dislike for me, I pray that your love will heal them. Amen.
