Beschreibung
Compassion is the dynamic force of all pastoral engagement.
Without it, Salvation is impossible. With it, the salvation
of the human person both spiritually and materially is
assured. It is a deep natural, philosophical, theological
and religious value. The proper assimilation of this value
with all its implications, marks a turning point in one’s
life. It opens up one, not only to love and to be loved, but
also to see things, not as they are, but as they should be.
It marks one’s entry into the crusade of the
universal-pastor-hood; a heart-driven crusade that abhors
all forms of exploitation and abuses. A crusade of
socio-political wellbeing realized through politics of
compassion.
