“We commit ourselves to lives of compassion”

ALL:  We commit ourselves to lives of compassion:

 

-       being passionate about our love and concern for others

 

-       opening our hearts and lives to others with real enthusiasm

 

-       being particularly concerned for the lives of the poor and powerless

 

-       focusing our love on those who tend to be looked down on

 

-       enabling others to achieve their potential

 

-       being agents of positive change in people’s lives

 

-       following Jesus’ example of self-giving love
