Human suffering and pain in the world are enormous.

Sometimes the darkness seems overwhelming. Many people despair in the face of it or curse the darkness, in despair and a feeling of powerlessness.

We believe it is better to light a candle — the candle of kindness and compassion — than to sit idly by and do nothing. Together we can make a difference. Members of Be the Blessing commit to a daily act of kindness and compassion. We also invite others to do the same through example, mutual support and social media.
