In this episode, Kathryn discusses love and compassion for ourselves and others, and how the Good Thief, a convicted felon who comforted Christ on the cross, serves as an example to us all.
In our own relationships, we sometimes fall back from the decision to love another person. With relationships between parents and children, love can flow easily. With relationships between married couples, siblings, etc., often how we love is a decision that we must make. Kathryn prompts us to contemplate: "How am I going to love those around me?"
To become aware of how we are loving others and to take responsibility for what we are conveying, we must become thoughtful. This will also help us to learn how God loves us and how we need to love ourselves. Reflecting on our lives, especially during times when we didn’t look our best, is crucial to the development of self-awareness and compassion.
During a time where you didn’t look your best, has someone whom you least expected been there for you? That’s what the Good Thief did for Christ. We are often in a position to help another person in situations where nobody else can support them.
