Courage and Solidarity

It is very different when we suffer from something then when someone else suffers, “But we should have remembered how we feel when we hear of the same things about others” (19.26). We must be conscious and put ourselves in the person shoes. We must be prepared to console them in what just happened, for when something happens to get in our way of what we had planned they are there to console us. It doesn’t matter if they are not your friends, because they have feelings just like you. If it’s something big like them having cancer or a family member dying, we must show the courage and solidarity to stand beside that person, because that’s what god intended us to do as: brothers and sisters.
