dimensions of god's love # 3. HESED YESHUA

HESED YESHUA = Saving Love / Mercy

Examples:
>all the martyrs, e.g., St. Maximilian Kolbe, Servant of God German Bishop Wilhelm Finneman, SVD, first Vicar Apostolic of Mindoro, Philippines (26 October 1942: thrown by the Japanese soldiers off the coast of Mindoro after a week of torture for defying their desire to turn Catholic convents & schools into prostitution houses for "comfort women").

>St. Padre Pio was quoted to have prayed something like: "Lord, if you are going to send a dagger, let it fall on me and spare the people."

This is the highest form of love. 
Question: Can I sacrifice myself for my enemy?
