Compassion is the thread of God
that runs through the soul of the human race.
that runs through the soul of the human race.
--Sr. Joan Chittister
For Jesus, bringing God's salvation to all was the greatest happiness, the mission, the meaning of his existence (cf. Gal 6:38) or, as he says, his nourishment (cf. Gal 4:34). And in every word and action with which we unite ourselves to Him, in the beautiful adventure of giving love, light and joy multiply (cfr Is 9,2): not only around us, but also in us. To proclaim the Gospel, then, is not time wasted: it is to be happier by helping others; it is to free oneself by helping others to be free; it is to become better by helping others to be better!
--Pope Francis, March 13, 2024
