The word compassion literally means, with passion. When you have passion for something, it gives you life - you believe in it; so much so that you would defend it. When you forgive someone, it is because you believe in the connection that you have that you are willing to fight for that relationship. Read through the Gospel of Luke -- Jesus shows much compassion for all of the marginalized..... everyone has the need to be connected to others. To be more like this, love your neighbor!!

To be able to follow God's commandment of Love one another as I love you will encompass compassion &
forgiveness. In short, totally devoid of negative feelings eg. anger, jealousy, pride, etc.
