Glossa Ordinaria, on Matt 5:43

Matt 5:43 · Douay-Rheims
“You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy.”
On this verse:
“(ord.) They who stand against the Church oppose her in three ways; with hate, with words, and with bodily tortures. The Church on the other hand loves them, as it is here, Love your enemies; does good to them, as it is, Do good to them that hate you; and prays for them, as it is, Pray for them that persecute you and accuse you falsely.”
