A spiritual meditation exploring how divine compassion radically exceeds human-made boundaries of purity and separation. It begins by defining the Farsi word “kalāgh” (raven), using the traditionally unclean bird that feeds Elijah as the first biblical example of mercy coming from an unexpected source. The meditation traces this pattern of boundary crossing through the Old and New Testaments, referencing the Gentile widow in Sidon and the Good Samaritan, whose acts of love required touching what was considered dead or defiling. Ultimately, the source highlights Jesus as the center of this truth, noting how His ministry consistently involved touching lepers and welcoming the marginalized. By reviewing these stories, the author argues that God refuses to allow human categories to define who deserves compassion, inviting readers to emulate this relentless, boundary-crossing mercy in their own lives.
