“Jesus summoned his twelve disciples,
and sent them out.”
Something to Think About
Do you know what the word “compassion” means? Having compassion for someone is more than feeling sorry for them – it is as if we enter into their pain and experience it with them. This makes us eager to help them! How do you reach out to others and show them kindness?
The Story
In today’s gospel, Jesus feels sorry for the people because they seem lost and confused, with nobody to lead them. Jesus sends out his twelve disciples to show God’s compassion to others, healing the sick and being helpful to people in need.
