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.

Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that action is service. Whatever form we are, able or disabled, rich or poor, it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing a lifelong sharing of love with others.
