how can we grow in compassion?

Father Ryan Brady joins Deacon Patrick Conley to discuss Compassion
(2:45) what is compassion?
(18:07) Bob - I have a person in my life (sister) that gambles. She gambles up to 100k per year. I don't want to be involved in it, but she buys dinners for her friends every Friday. I asked her if I could say grace, she said she doesn't do that. I make the sign of the cross over myself. It has a hold on her bad. Am I being a hard liner or unloving/uncompassionate for her and what she's enslaved with?

(23:09) Break 1
(24:26) Melissa - I feel like there's a lack of compassion toward me when I try to do as the church and Jesus guides us to do. If I voice that, I feel a great deal of rejection. I don't feel the compassion. Am I to be compassionate to their misunderstanding of the truth?
How do you be compassionate without being condescending?
(35:52) Email about compassion shown while at a seminary.

(38:32) Break 2

(47:41) how can we grow in compassion?
