compassionate justice

WOW...

"Just as a great musician tirelessly continues to practice his/her scales, those desiring to care for humanity must intentionally practice their passion. Compassionate justice must not be relegated to events, campaigns, or vicarious living. It must be lived out. Whether an act is small or large is beside the point. In fact, the fruit of compassion is not even the point. Mother Teresa rightly said, “The success of loving is in the loving — it is not the result of loving.” In other words, the act itself takes primacy over our thoughts before or the fruit afterwards."
