To feel Compassion is to feel the warmth and wisdom of Mother Mary’s embrace.
       Feel a sense of perceptive design to replace the despair and chaos in your mind.
       Feel the warmth inside that warms every nerve that runs through your spine.
     Feel your heart lifted up to the sun and warmed by its light.
     Feel your freedom from fear and sorrow
     Feel an attachment to light and strength.

To give compassion is to watch someone heal.
     See them return to wholeness.
     See light return to their eyes.
     See strength return to their body.
     See spirit return to a weary face.

To abuse someone’s compassion is either arrogance or ignorance.

If your ego gets involved with compassion, you will feel the most alone that you have ever felt in your life.

Always keep your wisdom, when granting compassion – as to its vital purpose.

The person in need of compassion often thinks they know in what form you should deliver your compassion to them.  If they are not overwhelmed with absolute love from your heart: they have ulterior motives.

Compassion is not foolishly giving your heart away – it’s the prudent application of healing grace.

Some people confuse Compassion with pity.  They will beg for your Compassion; however, they truly want your pity.  You can give pity to anyone.  People wallow in self-pity; however it is impossible to wallow in self-compassion.

If you feel Compassion makes you weak – you are giving or receiving pity, not Compassion.  Compassion is empowerment and makes your soul strong.

Compassion is to feel the ashes of Joan of Arc, along with her tears.

Cherish Compassion every time it is given to you.  Because for one moment in your passing time on this earth: there is a soul healing the tender wounds of your soul.  That soul is like your rib cage: encasing the tender beating of your heart.  Hold that delicate soul; embrace its healing light and thank God for Compassion.
