The two Ottoman sieges of Vienna in 1529 and 1683 had a huge impact on the city‘s history.
Relics of these sieges, namely old cannonballs, the so-called Türkenkugeln, can still be found all around the City Center. pic.twitter.com/CiJniAZbRK

The prayer for someone we dislike is wonderful. I hope it has been prayed for me.
Thank you for posting the prayer for people we dislike. I’ve struggled to pray for certain people. This certainly makes it easier!

Prayers for your mother, Fr. Z. /\
A couple of months ago I began saying a Prayer for Enemies, that asks God to bless my enemies and to transform my heart and mind. However, I find that when I think of who my enemies are as the middle part of the prayer directs, I find myself reminded of what I think they have done to me and that has the opposite of the intended effect. It’s a problem.

Just for fun.
