Competition or Compassion
“May your constant love be with us, Lord,
as we put our hope in you.”
--From an ancient song (Psalm 33:22)
Happy Valentine’s Day
A quote to ponder: “If there is one notion that is central to all great religions it is that of “compassion.” The sacred scriptures of the Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Jews and Christians all speak about God as the God of compassion. In a world in which competition continues to be the dominant mode of relating among people, be it in politics, sports or economics, all true believers proclaim compassion, not competition, as the way of God.”
--Here and Now, p. 98 – Henri Nouwen
May each act of Valentine’s Day 2012 be filled with compassion as you care for self and others!
--Ben Keckler
