Compassion in the Heart of the World

About the Book

Compassion convinces nobody if the woman who gestures and touches with compassion has not chosen to open her heart to the pain of the one who is suffering. The authors have explored the dark and painful regions of lives that they have known personally in the countries of Albania, Sierra Leone, the United States and other less noticed corners of the globe with this purpose in mind: to be compassionate.

You will only benefit from this book if you have a soul ready to be exposed to pain. You may have to suspend your preconceptions about traditional Catholic religion and about her Lord, the God-man from Nazareth, Jesus Christ. You may have to recognize the fact that until now you have not really understood the Bible and its more profound lessons. You will find in this book a new horizon opening to the person who until now believed that life must continue in its lazy, mediocre fashion. You will confront this new horizon through a new vocabulary: the notion of co-redeemer. Often misunderstood and never correctly explained in the popular press, the vocation to be a co-redeemer is one that is open to everyone.

The one who wishes to love her sister, to love her brother in pain, is the one who finds peace in the most severe storms of life. This is the person who may link her heart in a fully gratifying, joyful love with the Savior of the World, Jesus Christ. This is the person who becomes a co-redeemer and walks her way valiantly and vibrantly through death into eternal life.
