I dedicate this Sunday to praying for all the victims of the #EndSARS protest in Nigeria, and I humbly enjoin you to join me in doing same. That is one way of reaching out in compassion to people who are oppressed and denied their rights in that part of the world and elsewhere. Compassion is not just a feeling, it is not merely an emotion, it is not a sentiment as such, it is not even an attitude; it is rather a deep actionable disposition in which we are moved in the depth of our hearts to show, speak, or act for the good of the other who is oppressed in any way. Compassion is love in motion. It is love made flesh. It is embodied love. It is God’s kind of love, with the ultimate consequence of dying for the beloved ‘pro nobis’.

God bless you!
