Compassion
Parables of
Jesus
Like a Strand of
Pearls
45 ‘Again, the kingdom of heaven
is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; 46on
finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought
it.
Matthew 13.45-46

Until he extends his circle of
compassion
to all living things, man will not himself
find peace.
~ Albert
Schweitzer
Compassion is born
when we discover
in the center of our
own existence
not only that God is
God and man is man,
but also that our
neighbor really is our fellow man.

Vicki came up with some friends to

If you want
others to be happy,
practice
compassion.
If you want
to be happy,

28 ... "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s
brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and
raise up children for his brother. 29Now there were
seven brothers; the first married, and died childless;
30then the second 31and the
third married her, and so in the same way all seven died childless.
32Finally the woman also died.
33In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the
woman be? For the seven had married her."
34Jesus said to them, "Those who belong to this age marry and are
given in marriage; 35but those who are considered
worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither
marry nor are given in marriage. 36Indeed they cannot
die anymore, because they are like angels and are children of God, being
children of the resurrection.

20:27-38
Agnus Day,
by James Wetzstein
In Flanders
Fields
In Flanders fields
the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That
mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely
singing, fly
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are the Dead.
Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset
glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders
fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you
from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it
high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not
sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Lt. Col. John McCrae,
