to comfort the afflicted

Think About It

  1. To ‘cry with and to ‘cry for’ another person are different sides of the coin of compassion. Both require a deep empathy and a ‘standing in the other’s shoes’ to feel their pain. Recall times when you have cried with or for others.
  2. Sometimes we need to balance or hold back our own emotions in order to truly be of comfort to someone who is grieving a loss in their life, e.g.: a loved one, a job, good health, personal independence. Can you recall a time in your life when you did this well? A time when you avoided a situation for fear of being overwhelmed or inadequate?
  3. If we are to be the face of Jesus in our world, our compassion must be shown in visible, tangible actions. Name/list some ways to reach out to those in sorrow.
