"I say this with great compassion: we are living in an upwardly mobile society, a society in which making it to the top is expected in some degree of all of us. And aren't we tempted to use even the Word of God to help us in this upward mobility? But that is not the way of God, the Father, the Son, and Spirit. God's way is not the way of upward mobility but of downward mobility. You know, as well as I do, that they question we will finally hear is not going to be: "How much did you earn during your lifetime?" or "How many friends did you make?" or "How much progress did you make in your career?" No, the question for us will be: "What did you do for the least of mine? What did you do for the lonely in your cities, the prisoners in your country, the refugees within and below your borders, and the hungry all over the world? Have you seen the humiliated Christ in the faces of the poor?"
- Henri Nouwen, "Prayer and the Jealous God"
