St Michael’s Day Service
September 25, 2016 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
This year we are celebrating Compassion during St Michael’s Week. One of greatest enhancers of inner wellbeing comes from the development of compassion. The etymology of Compassion is Latin, meaning co-suffering. More involved than empathy, compassion commonly gives rise to an active desire to alleviate another’s suffering.
Compassion motivates people to go out of their way to help soften physical, spiritual, or emotional hurts and pains of another. The old expression The Golden Rule embodies the principle of Compassion: Do to others what you would have them do to you. During St Michael’s Week we ask everyone to consider two or three ways they can bring compassion to the world.
