Compassion

> When Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion for them because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.(Matthew 9:36) - compassion: care, concern, warmth, tenderness, kindness, charity, love. The opposite of compassion is indifference, cruelty. It is the nature of God within us to be moved with compassion when we see the suffering and pain of another person. This is a prelude to a act of care and tenderness. It is the nature of the devil in us when we look and turn away in indifference or when we laugh and make fun of a person in a sad state of life. As Jesus was moved by compassion so be it for you and me. Holy Spirit, do not let us become desensitized to the pain and hurt of others and turn away in indifference. Keep us sensitive, caring, tender and move us to acts of kindness in the midst of indifference in this world. Amen.
