Wherever you are on your journey with God, you are welcome here.

Each of us is born with the potential for deep love, compassion, and connection. Yet, through hardships, misperceptions, and the process of growth, we lose our way. We learn to judge, to violate, to hold grudges, and to protect ourselves from suffering. Compassion is our way back to the path of life. We are invited to get into the heart of Christ’s compassion and his way of love. Each week we will focus on one facet of compassion using the image of the “Tree of Compassion” with its roots (foundation for compassion), trunk (conduits of compassion), branches (reaching out with compassion), leaves (receptacles of compassion), and fruit (offering compassion). We invite you to ponder what helps you to grow the tree of compassion in your life.
