"When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him.
The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born.
Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt.
I am the Lord your God."
-Leviticus 19:34

"Here [in Jesus' life and mission] we see what compassion means.
It is not bending toward the underprivileged from a privileged position;
it is not reaching out from on high to those who are less fortunate below;
it is not a gesture of sympathy or pity for those who fail to make it in the upward pull.
On the contrary, compassion means going directly to those people and places
where suffering is most acute and building a home there."
-Henri Nouwen
