There is a place in you...
that is the eternal place within you.
The more we visit there,
the more we are touched and fused
with the limitless kindness and affection of the divine…
If we can inhabit that reflex of divine presence,
then compassion will flow naturally from us.
--John O’Donahue
If Christ shows us the face of a compassionate God, then to believe in him and to be his disciples means allowing ourselves to be changed and to take on his same feelings. It means learning to have a heart that is moved, eyes that see and do not look away, hands that help others and soothe their wounds, shoulders that bear the burden of those in need.
--Pope Leo XIV
