What Exactly is Compassion in Action?

Lately, I’ve been ruminating on compassion., and this idea: What if demonstrating compassion is our way of embodying God (which I define as love) on earth?

The Christian scholar and theologian, Matthew Fox says, “compassion is, of course, a kind of passion. A caring, a feeling of the suffering of others—and acting to relieve that suffering. It is the opposite of a cold heart. Compassion is also the work of the Holy Spirit.”

Fox goes on to remind us that Meister Eckhart insisted that, “the first outburst of whatever God does is always compassion.”
