His own words tell his story. There is a man pushing a grocery cart who needs our help. There are victims of the troubles of life who need our help. There is a soul lost on the way to destruction that needs our help. There is a country somewhere needing all the help it can get.
Compassion is in the call.
Jesus calls us as He did the first disciples to be compassionate. For if we don't do it, it just might not get done. If not now, when. Let's follow our Lord. Eternal God you have shown great compassion to us.
