"We humans have a lamentable tendency to spend more time theorizing behind human suffering, than working to alleviate human suffering, and in imagining a heaven above, than creating a heaven in our homes and communities."

"Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into the places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human."
-Henri Nouwen
