“God’s compassion is total, absolute, unconditional, without reservation. It is the compassion of the one who keeps going to the most forgotten corners of the world, and who cannot rest as long as knowing that there are still human beings with tears in their eyes. It is the compassion of a God who does not merely act as a servant, but whose servanthood is a direct expression of divinity.”
-Donald McNeil, Douglas Morrison & Henri Nouwen, Compassion: A Reflection on the Christian Life
