LENT III compassion

For our sacred relationships to thrive, we must foster compassion.

Jesus had such compassion for the Samaritan woman, and it was that compassion that converted her! Also, in a different way, Moses showed compassion (with the addition of a bit of self-preservation) when he provided water for the thirsty Israelites.
