Given the suffering we’ve seen this week, we’re grateful to be on a journey of COMPASSION for the month of October. Compassion means “being with suffering” – this Sunday we move from how to see with compassion, to feel with compassion. We’re grateful that, given the suffering we see around us, the Jesus-story invites us into a life of change – including deepening our capacity for compassion. Vital, vulnerable work that we need for the sake of ourselves, and the sake of our hurting world. Thankfully we do it, together.
