Saying / Proverb★★★
Compassion, when holy, is a benevolent, kind, tender sympathy with all sufferers who have a rational or sensitive being, wherever they exist. When only a mere animal affection, and destitute of benevolence, its operations confer more or less inferior happiness. But where connected with true benevolence, it becomes a source of delectable enjoyment. It is, without doubt, one of the cardinal sources of Divine felicity.
The point
Holy compassion joined to benevolence becomes a source of deep, divine joy.
