Compassion: it means “to suffer with.” Recall those times when you’ve been suffering, alone, and someone has come into that isolation with you. It’s powerful! Now, don’t skip the fact that God became man so he could suffer with us. God is the prodigal son’s father, spending every day looking at the horizon with longing even though his son hurt him in such a concrete and direct way.
Want to be a more compassionate person? It’s really hard to love and accept others without first being able to love and accept ourselves. First, get to know God’s compassionate heart for you, then you’ll be able to show true compassion for others and have the grace to respond to a person in need.

Things may seem so small, but in reality no matter how little or insignificant something may seem, nothing is little. It’s because God makes them and because He makes them, they are great and infinite in value…

Learning to Love Like Jesus
The fullness of the mission of Christ includes a heart for the poor. This is pretty central, actually, but somehow doesn’t always get a lot of airtime. This isn’t just something we do, but who we are. It’s not just a Christian thing — this is being like Jesus. And even once that heart is developed and the desire is there, the how can…
