Compassion is coming to the awareness of how blessed you are and how there is need for help for others in any and every place you turn. For this show, we met with Deacon Joe Bogushefsky and his wife Jan as they introduced us to POVERTY 24-6. An unusual name? Deacon Joe said that while Christ told us that the poor would always be with us, Jesus didn’t say we couldn’t give poverty a day off.
You can find this wonderful example of compassion and caring at:
