Compassion – Terry Fox
This week our students will be running
on Terry Fox day. Each year our school
participates in this event but this year our Grade 8 class will focus on Terry
Fox and the theme of compassion. I came
across this quote, “Fox is not only an embodiment and example of Christian love
but also someone who makes such love available to the community.” As we focus on compassion this month we can
see how Terry Fox is a humble example of making Christian love available to the
community. Last week I discussed the
meaning of compassion and Christ’s actions surrounding compassion. The quote above does a wonderful job, once
again, of explaining how we can live out compassion in our communities. I believe we are called to be an embodiment
and example of Christian love and also make such love available to our neighbours
both near and far. “Praise be to the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of
all comfort, who comforts us in all our
troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we
ourselves receive from God.” 2 Cor. 1:3-4 Blessings on your journey this week
as you exhibit Christian love and compassion ~Mr. Bouwers
