Keys To Daily Gospel Faithfulness:

Compassion = being genuinely concerned about someone and doing something about it to help alleviate their burden, pain, discomfort, or suffering
2) Live Devotedly (v. 22-24)
“I (Jesus) am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”
- John 15:5
