In a society fractured by division and fear, the call to

love your neighbor as yourself

shines brighter than ever. Through the story of blues musician Daryl Davis, who befriended members of the KKK, we see how compassion can dismantle hatred and build bridges. True compassion is more than sympathy; it’s empathy

with

action, as Jesus showed us time and again. Reflecting on the parable of the Good Samaritan and biblical lessons of humility, listening, and sacrificial love, we are challenged to live out Christ's example, actively engaging with the suffering around us. When we choose compassion, we embody God’s love, a love that breaks barriers and transforms lives.
