Anthony Farindon, Anglican minister, quotes early church bishop, Gregory of Nazianzus. One’s charity will improve itself and rise to heaven, the greater the degree it bows to sit with a brother in the dust. James 1:27 says visit orphans and widows.

How to sit with those in the dust? Maybe not to gripe at them for being dirty. But also not to merely yell at a someone else for their condition. One truly sits with them in the dust.
