Part I: Introduction- “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)

It was around lunchtime on a Saturday and I felt Penn Station’s summer mugginess cling to my skin. The second I left the train, my legs began to adapt to the brisk pace of New York City, forgetting the slightly more relaxed Long Island walk ingrained into my limbs. The escalator hummed under my feet as my elbow touched the safety rail, and around me were hurried commuters looking down at their phones or towards an endless distance, fervently hoping to avoid making eye contact with any passersby.
