But I say to you

...love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. Mt 5:44-45

(After Allia gets in trouble for hitting Mariana during an argument...)

Mariana: Allia hit. That is nooooooot right.

Me: Yes. That is why she is in trouble. We never hit people.

Mariana: I am going to talk to God and ask him to help Allia to do the right thing.

Me: Awww...what a good girl, Mariana. That is exactly what you should do.

(I leave the room to put away some laundry and return to find Mariana on her knees with hands folded in prayer.)

Mariana: ....and dear God, help Allia to be good. Amen.

So sweet!
