Jesus said,
"Come, you whom the Father has
blessed, take for your heritage the
Kingdom prepared for you since the
foundation of the world. For I was
hungry and you gave me food, ; I was
thirsty and you gave me drink. I was
a stranger and you made Me welcome,
naked and you clothed Me, sick and
you visited Me, in prison and you
came to see Me………….insofar
as you did this to one of the least
of these My brethren you did it to
Me. "
Matthew 25:31-46
There is a plenitude of all the
necessary things on the earth for
all men and women and children to
have sufficient , and to live full
and rewarding lives. And it is the
solemn responsibility on those who
have a generous supply of the good
things of the earth to share with
those who have little. That any
starve or suffer from insufficient
food or shelter is a situation of
shame for those who allow it to
be so. Each and every one of the
Father's children who receive the
good things of the Earth without
some thought and action for the
deprived is under judgement. Let
every child of man pray daily for
the hungry and thirsty and the naked,
for the stranger and the prisoner.
And let him give time and silence
in his prayer, so that his offering
may be used for the needy of the
Earth. And he will be shown, in
time, his particular part in the
alleviation of sickness and suffering
and lostness, and given the means
of addressing himself to it. And
as the commitment in prayer and
action progresses , that child of
the Father will grow in grace and
in love ; he will be joined in depth
with all his fellowmen who also
seek to serve in like manner. And
he will at last rejoice with all
he has unknowingly prospered, ad
I will lead him to the Father's
Presence.
