Sometimes it may feel as though love and compassion have disappeared.
But when we stop and think about it, there are still so many ways we can show love right now. There are small things we can do for the whales living in the ocean, for the foxes living in the Arctic, and, above all, for the dog waiting for us at home.
So perhaps love and compassion have not disappeared at all.
Even the smallest act of love matters. Let us cherish it and, together with God, allow that little love to grow, little by little.
