Have a great compassion for people. To be able to have a heart full of compassion, we need to pray. Especially be kind, be loving to the poor.

Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked of human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a home of bricks - but homeless because of rejection.
Mother Teresa

Give your hands to serve and your hearts to love.

Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile. Smile five times a day at someone you don't really want to smile at at all. Do it for peace.
