“We all have a part we can play if we are willing to come near, and see, and offer radical empathy in the form of our action ... ‘We aren’t obligated to finish the work, but we are obligated to be a part of it.’ So, like the Good Samaritan, we draw near. We challenge ourselves not to look away, but to see this is the hardest part — the willingness to immerse ourselves in the pain of the world and hold it close, to really see with open eyes, and then carry what we discover with us alongside our everyday pains and burdens.”
