Compassion-to suffer with

xx.jpg

Make us worthy, Lord, to serve our fellow man throughout the world who live and die in poverty and hunger.  Give them, through our hands this day their daily bread, and by our understanding love give peace and joy.  Lord make me a channel of thy peace, that where there is hatred I may bring love; that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness; that where there is discord, I may bring harmony; that where there is error, I may bring truth, where there is doubt-faith, where there is despair-hope; where there are shadows-light; where there is sadness-joy.  Lord grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted; to understand than to be understood, to love than be loved, for it is by forgetting self that one finds it; by dying that one awakens to eternal life—Amen-Mother Theresa and St. Francis of Assisi
