BE COMPASSIONATE


PRAYER PAUSE  (Internet problems!)

BE COMPASSIONATE


Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “Be compassionate as your Father is compassionate.” (Luke 6:36-8)



Reflection. Our first reading today, from Daniel 9: 4ff, is an acknowledgement of guilt: “We have sinned” and it goes ino detail. Then this gospel comes to show that God is not interested in judging, condemning or punishing. The whole movement of his heart is towards healing and compassion. And so ours, to one another, is to mirror this compassion.


Prayer. Lord, teach us compassion. May we be more ready to console than to condemn. Amen.
