Dear Father Raymond and Father Donald,
Thank you for sight of your homily - I cannot now cease from thinking of all the occasions of Jesus' compassion - the widow of Nain ("when the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her"). I believe you have brought into focus for me as aspect of the humanity of Jesus that will influence enormously my 'study' of Christology. However learned a book, it takes just a word - "compassion" - to illumine the search!
Thank you for the thoughts that the vision of Venus in the Crescent Moon bring... I hear it said 'there is a world out there', and maybe? The best comment I have read - yesterday! - on such issues is in Blosius's "Book of Spiritual Instruction" (from 1560!): "In good truth, if the heavens, the earth and all God has created, together with all He could create - for He could, if He so pleased, create many other worlds more wonderful than this - if, I say, we were to compare all these things to God they would be found so truly nothing, that they would be less than the point of a needle compared to the vast extent of the sky."
Such thoughts you give us to guide and delight us on our spiritual journey.
With my love in Our Lord,
William

THE COMPASSION OF JESUS
Compassion is a kind of hallmark of the mission of Jesus on earth. It was the driving force of all his miracles of healing. This can be deduced from his sometimes requesting that the person he healed should not tell anyone. - - -
