Utilizing a powerful vision of St. Hildegard of Bingen and an icon of Mary, Mother of Compassion, she demonstrated the power of compassion to break down political, dogmatic, ideologial and religious boundaries. She connected the principle of compassion to all religious, ethical and spiritual traditions, and recommended that all support and sign the Charter for Compassion. All of us can release the energy of compassion into our world in prayer, reflection and activity.

Bridget Mary Meehan, RCWP
