Weekly Card Ministry

The meaning of compassion is to recognize the suffering of others,

then take action to help. ... The Bible defines the meaning

of compassion in several ways. We are to “speak up for those who

cannot speak for themselves ... defend the rights of the poor and

needy” (Proverbs 31:8-9, NIV).

AUMC – Compassion Fund

Compassion gives us the ability to understand someone else's

situation and the desire to take action to improve their lives. ... For

people who are dependent on others for help and

support, compassion is often the most important factor in allowing

them to lead fulfilling lives.
