Sympathy sends a care card to a person in need... but it doesn't enter the brokenness or feel the pain. Compassion enters into the world of the destitute to suffer with the other...our neighbor... our brother and sister... this is Christ-like love - for Christ is the great example (shows us the way) of entering into the life, and pain, of creation.
We cannot love with our eyes closed.
(Reflection by Rev. Andrew Kukla)
