Compassion is not simply a feeling; it is a practice, a discipline, and, at times, a radical act. In a world conditioned toward separation and speed, how do we slow down, soften our hearts, and choose to see one another fully? This Sunday we reflect on compassion as a spiritual muscle—one that requires tending, intention, and courage. Together, we deepen our capacity to hold ourselves and each other with tenderness and truth.

Our reading is “Wouldn’t it be Great?” by Rev. Tess Baumberger

Wouldn’t it be great if we walked around surrounded by our souls,

So that they were the first things people saw…

Then people would judge us by who we really are…

Imagine no more racism, ageism, sexism,

Fatism, shortism, homophobia.

Imagine falling in love with who a person is,

Just by looking at them…

Imagine people knowing  YOU…by your soul…
