Today's reflection is brought to you by
Matthew 25:31-46.
I'm not sure you can be any clearer.
The way to bring heaven to earth is
to feed the hungry.
Give drink to the thirsty.
Welcome the stranger.
Clothe the naked.
Care for the sick.
Visit those in prison.
It sounds so simple
but what you are
really saying
is that we must
stop worrying about ourselves and
work to fix
the real injustices
that surround us.
We must serve you
not only by loving life's beauty,
but serving
to alleviate life's harsh realities
and the injustices
we prefer to ignore.
Christ Creator,
give us the courage
to know
ALL of
humanity,
ALL of creation
as our family,
and to do what must be done.
Help us
to really understand
that when one suffers,
all suffer,
and to act
as your hands,
feet,
and heart in our world.
+Amen.
