A person who is full of compassion is one who keeps close to God. At times, we can be lacking in virtue and yet, as soon as we take on board our neighbour and care about them, then we are elevated to a higher state, we are in the company of God.
Compassion melts all pride, both in ourselves and others. It is as if we take on the Person of Christ. Although we remain our imperfect self, we have a spiritual energy that transforms us to become more, more than our own finite nature.
Compassion is a healer, heals the person we are compassionate with, and heals ourselves too.
