  1. BE COMPASSIONATE • AS YOUR FATHER IS COMPASSIONATE

  2. The Good Samaritan

  3. When he saw him he had compassion • He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. • Then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

  4. He went to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. • As he drew near to the gate of the city, behold a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.

  5. A grieving mother

  6. When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her • He said to her ‘Do not weep’. • And he came and touched the bier and the bearers stood still • And he said ‘Young man, I say to you, arise’. • And the dead man sat up and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

  7. There were two blind men sitting by the roadside. • They heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, ‘Have mercy on us, Son of David! • And Jesus stopped and called them, saying ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ They said to him ‘Lord, let our eyes be opened’. • And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes and immediately they received their sight.

  8. They went away in a boat to a lonely place by themselves • And as he landed he saw a great throng and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. • And he began to teach them many things.

  10. ‘I have compassion on the crowd’

  11. His disciples said • Send them away to go and buy themselves something to eat. • But he answered them, • ‘You give them something to eat’.

  12. Lasallian Compassion • Emily Vogel. San Miguel School, Chicago. • “I felt the Spirit churn inside me as I served at San Miguel and lived in community for that one weekend; it was the kind of feeling that spoke loudly and clearly: “This is it!”.

  13. Being Lasallians Today • “Our Institute was born in the face dehumanisation, in a world where young people were far from salvation and had no chance of reaching their full potential as human beings and Christians. • If we today are to be faithful to that original charism, we must respond creatively to new forms of dehumanisation, to new forms of poverty, to new cries for help coming to us from the excluded.” Brother Alvaro.
