Purpose of the laws is to train one to see the face of God in the other. So the law, more than any of the rules and regulations, take us into the most vulnerable conditions. It is there we see the face of God, and serve God. No ritual or custom can substitute it.
In order to train ourselves in this, it is also important to identify temptations that disfigure a Christian vision. 'In these little ones you did it to me' goes through a temptation of screening these little ones through our celebrated prejudices of race, religion, language and morals.
