“No,” the priest said, “Jesus tells us this because he knows that in life there will always be people who hurt us, or betray us, or who we just for some reason don’t like – that’s a natural thing – so, think of ‘enemy’ in this case, as just someone you don’t especially take to, or want to be good friends with, someone you know better than to trust. When Jesus says ‘love them,’ he means, basically, “pray for them, for their good, and never wish them ill. It doesn’t mean you have to kiss them…you just can’t want to kill them.”
