Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our
troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
Our God is a God of compassion. When we show compassion for each other, we join God at work in the world. We also share what God has shared with us and, in this way, we experience again the joy of God’s care for us.
A man named Thomas Browne once wrote –
“By compassion we make others' misery our own, and so, by relieving them, we relieve ourselves also.”
The best way to help yourself is to help someone else.
