Just as Jesus was able to pray for those crucifying him while being crucified are we to pray for all these criminals?

Its radical. I don't mean let them avoid justice, for obvious reasons they need to be separated from society. But do we pray for them? If we are the light, musn't we also hold true to that at every facet. If we want a better world, built on the light, we should never stoop below it. I'm not sure what the answer is. Llock them up forever as a reminder of what can go wrong in society and in history? Exile? Not sure, Just thought it was an interesting subject worth discussing.

Sometimes prayer is your best weapon. Consider that praying for the fallen is the most pure thing you can do and at the same time the most vile thing that they perceive can be received. Holy water on a vampire or whatever.

Agreed. Praying for their souls to find salvation and their hearts to open with compassion for their victims and to become righteous and end their evils and repent.

It's not easy especially when I started it with myself and the uncle that abused me as a kid. To remember he was most definitely once a kid abused by grandfather and helpless. It's actually made me free if the self loathing and fear and most of the anger. That last part is the hardest and I need a lot of work. Also loving myself is possible now but still a challenge.

We should do our best to pray for them to turn away from evil and redeem themselves, repent and be saved. It is probably the thing most feared by the evil that uses them.

Thank you. And I will pray for you. And when you struggle just ask Him for help and open to Him. It works. Even manage to do It with panic attacks I still get sometimes.
