Thought for the Day: In the Gospels, “compassion” is used in a way which is restricted and instructive. Compassion is used only of Jesus himself or of God in some of the parables. The word itself means something like mercy, arising from deep within, a kind of spontaneous empathy and understanding, the kind of reaction a woman has for the child of her womb. When people are compassionate to us, it is because we need it and usually we are deeply touched and grateful. Such is our God! If we receive such compassion, we are obliged to give it in return, of course. This is the charter of Christian living. Prayer: God, all merciful and all compassionate, help us to be like you that we may console others with the same consolation with which we ourselves have been consoled. Amen. Fr Kieran O Mahony
Pope’s Intention for August: For evangelisation in the city – Let us pray for a just and sustainable management of water, a vital resource, so that everyone may have equal access to it.

Pope Leo XIV on X: I continue to follow with deep concern the ongoing and escalating violence in the Holyland, in recent days, many civilians, both in the West Bank and in Gaza, have once again fallen victim. I make a heartfelt appeal for a return to negotiations to achieve a just political solution, founded on the equal dignity and equal rights of every human person. At the same time I urge the rejection of further military actions and unilateral decisions, especially those that violate the respect for and the status quo of the holy places of every religion.
