Showing God’s Compassion to People in Need

‘remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said:
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”’
(Acts 20:35)

Jesus not only said these words, he acted upon them, supremely by coming into a world
of lost sinners to save us. But as well, when he was with us he cared for the sick and the poor.
What drove him was, of course, love. When we know we are loved it changes us and we
become more loving ourselves. When we experience the love of God, we become more kind,
more generous, more forgiving, especially to those in need. A friend of mine does exactly that.
Overcoming the limitations of age and sickness, (she is ninety years old) she teaches English
to newly arrived people. In doing so she is showing the compassion of Jesus to those in need.

Question for thought:  How do I show compassion. Why?

Loving Lord, we pray for families in the Dioceses of Tonga in Polynesia and Jaffna in Southern India.
In Tonga, we thank you for the enthusiasm of members as they support each other care
and pray for each other. In Jaffna we pray as they support marriages and help families
coping with hardships. May they know that you are with them as they serve you.  Amen.
