Have you ever wondered what the word compassion means? Compassion means ‘to suffer together’, in other words, compassion is the feeling that arises when you are confronted with another’s suffering and feel motivated to relieve that suffering.
It is very important to be a compassionate person. But to be a real compassionate person requires two important actions. Firstly, is to feel compassionate for the suffering people, and secondly, to be motivated by taking an action to relieve the suffering people go through.
So, with all the suffering around in the world… the refugees, the sick people, the poor, the abused, the homeless… are we a people that feel the compassion and to relieve such a suffering? People, nations, governments, churches,… are all to live up by truly being compassionate, by feeling for the suffering and above all to relieve the suffering.
Are you compassionate?

I am George Calleja from Malta; I am married and have two children. In 2009 I obtained my MBA through the University of Leicester.
During the years 1990 to 1996 I was a full time missionary with ‘The International Catholic Programme for Evangelization – ICPE’ and have evangelized in various countries, such as Russia, Ghana, Poland, Germany, and Malta amongst others. Since 1997, I am an active member of the Focolare Movement in Malta.
In November 2014 I published my first Christian Book ‘Peace and Unity in our lives – Volume One’, and have already published another 15 Books. While I hope that you find spiritual growth through reading my articles, I promise to keep you always in my prayers.

How to heal your spiritual wounds
I think we all are compassionate people. Now with scamming and dishonesty running around, many of us have to be careful what we do. Fake charities and humans finding illegal ways to cheat, we have to double check the thing before we give. But many of us give to people we know and others.
