This idea of compassion comes to us because we're made in the image of God, who is ultimately the compassionate one.

Compassion brings us to a stop, and for a moment we rise above ourselves.

When compassion wakes up in us, we find ourselves more willing to become vulnerable, to take the risk of entering the pain of others.

We need to move into a culture of peace. What I hope to promote is the idea that we all need each other and that the greatest happiness in life is not how much we have but how much we give. That's a wealth that's priceless. You can't buy compassion.

If we want to create a viable, peaceful world, we've got to integrate compassion into the gritty realities of 21st century life.

Wealth and compassion are opposites.

It's hard to practice compassion when we're struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.

Compassion has enemies, and those enemies are things like pity, moral outrage, fear.

Many of us think that compassion drains us, but I promise you it is something that truly enlivens us.

As Christians, our compassion is simply a response to the love that God has already shown us.
