Shamelessly Copying from Disputations's Comment Boxes
St Augustine said that the child of God's enemy is the one who is God's enemy; We therefore pray in Ps 104 "Destroy Thou mine enemy" with the understanding that God destroys His enemies by making them His friends.
--Mark (yet another Dominican--praise God!)
What a joyous revelation--God destroys His enemies by making them His friends--you may all have already known it, but I admit that to this foggy mind today, it comes as welcome news.

Is that awesome, or what?
to the next level. St. Augustine also explains that the words "Destroy" and "Exalt" come from the same root word!
