Compassion: Suffering With Others

Compassion, often misunderstood in society, involves 'suffering with' others. The Latin roots of compassion point to this meaning. St. Maximus the Confessor discusses natural compassion and the necessity for divine aid to express it fully. True compassion entails sitting with someone in their suffering, not just seeking to alleviate discomfort.
