OPENING PRAYER

Dear God,

You understood the needs of those impoverished in mind, body or spirit and never shamed or shunned them.

May we come to recognize our own vulnerability and our longing to be healed.

As we encounter our own pain let it deepen in us the capacity to feel for others.

Enlarge our souls, expand our minds  and soften our hearts towards all who suffer.

In your precious name, we pray.

Amen

What is empathy?

Empathy is a value that we should all encourage in our daily lives. In the video you are about to see our students give their definition of empathy and allow us to understand the importance this value has to properly develop as human beings. It is in the relationship with the other that we can build ourselves and grow for better.Here it is a slight demonstration of what empathy is.
