Ord. Wk 30th. Friday, 31 October 2014 Compassion - a Virtue: In today’s Gospel, Jesus cured a man with dropsy, even though it was not permitted under the Sabbath Laws. Compassion is a virtue that gives us a “window” into the Heart of Jesus. To apply rules and regulations with pastoral sensitivity, we need to pray to be more like Jesus. Msgr Philip Heng, S.J. Lk 14:1-6 On a Sabbath day Jesus had gone to share a meal in the house of one of the leading Pharisees; and they watched him closely. Now there in front of him was a man with dropsy, and Jesus addressed the lawyers and Pharisees with the words, ‘Is it against the law to cure someone on the Sabbath, or not?’ But they remained silent, so he took the man and cured him and sent him away. Then he said to them, ‘Which of you here, if his son falls into a well, or his ox, will not pull him out on a Sabbath day without any hesitation?’ And to this they could find no answer.
