About this audiobook
This beautiful set of meditations illuminates the many facets of Jesus' nature and offers a deeper understanding of His wisdom and his compassion for humanity.
In The Wisdom of His Compassion, bestselling author Joseph Girzone reflects on the character and mind of Jesus in more than forty meditations. Each meditation is based on an episode related in the Gospel and focuses on a particular aspect of Jesus' life and its significance to contemporary Christians. Some of the meditations bring to life Jesus' humor, others His penetrating insights into human frailties. Together they create a portrait of a warm, compassionate divinity who relates to each person as an individual.
As he recounts and interprets the lessons of the Gospel, Girzone shows that compassion for our fellow human beings is the most profound expression of God's love and wisdom. His thoughtful, incisive meditations will help readers turn away from thoughts of retribution or punishment, and will inspire them to embrace God's message of help and healing.

Reviews for The Wisdom of His Compassion
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This series of meditations on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ are all based on readings of the Gospels. Fr. Joseph Girzone with his lifetime of study does excellent work in this book as he focuses on crucial and well known parts of the Gospels where they tell of Jesus life. The author does so in such a manner as to make it not only inspirational but easily understandable to the audience of today. Some of his explanations take a valid yet slightly different slant than most may be use too. This fresh perspective on the teachings of Our Lord and his life helps give greater insight into how much God truly loves us.
