Compassion
The word ‘Compassion’ comes from the
Latin words: ‘pate’ and ‘cum’ which
together mean ‘to suffer with’.
Compassion challenges us to reach out to
those in most need of our help.
Jesus demonstrated many acts of
compassion
Teaching people
Feeding people
Healing people
Jesus told a parable to teach us
the importance of compassion
Watch the short

How are you going to be
compassionate today….
Let us pray……..
Lord, please let me see those around me that
are in need of my compassion. Help me to
listen to them, to hear their needs. Give me
the heart to be interested in their troubles
and provide for me the means to help them.
I want to be compassionate. I want to be like
you that had so much compassion for the
world that you sacrificed your Son on a cross
for us. Help me Lord to consider others as
I consider myself.
Amen
Psalm 102
The Lord is compassion and love,
slow to anger and rich in mercy.
