Compassion is the hallmark of Jesus. He notices how people are in need. People are troubled and abandoned. He sends out his twelve apostles. Their mission begins not with a task but with compassion. The same is true today. There are people around us who need encouragement, kindness, hope and faith. This is our first calling as Christians. To be compassionate. To bring hope and encouragement. May we ask the Lord to give us hearts full of compassion, ears ready to hear his call and courage to serve as His disciples.
