We often think that service means to give something to others, to tell them how to speak, act or behave; but now it appears that above all else, real, humble service is helping our neighbors discover that they possess great but often hidden talents that can enable them to do even more for us than we can do for them.
–Henri J. M. Nouwen, Donald P. McNeill and Douglas A. Morrison, Compassion: A Reflection on the Christian Life, 2008
