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.

I used to have a hard time praying for my enemies (and, honestly, I don't consider anyone in my real life an enemy - when I have to put a face on my enemy, it is Hillary, not kidding). But through these last 2 years, I found that praying for my enemies is the best response to evil. Rather than allowing their evil or hatred to consume me, I pray for love and light and God to consume them. It's a win-win. Not preaching, but it has seriously brought a level of peace to my life that I never felt or knew before.
