Compassion

"Compassion: Your pain in my heart."
                                                                              Unknown

The Jesuit moral theologian James Keenan defines mercy as, “The willingness to enter into the chaos of another.” This means that we let the issues, problems and crises of another be our own for a time. We let their needs touch our lives, our hearts, and our minds. What/who cries for your compassionate response? What are you willing to let in, even for a time?
