The things we are asked to do are so simple: give food and drink to ‘Jesus” in those who are hungry and thirsty; to clothe ‘Jesus’ in those who are naked; to visit ‘Jesus’ in those who are sick and in jail. Whether we realize it or not, every time we spontaneously take care of a brother or sister in need it is Jesus Himself we are serving. An important point to remember is ‘you did it to Me, not for Me’. Jesus identifies himself especially with the person in need. Every time we neglect to help a brother or sister in need, we neglect Jesus Himself. Let us not forget to reach out to others as we are asked to.
Adults: What do you find most difficult in seeing Jesus in those on the margin of society?
Children: To which person did you especially try to show Jesus’ love and care this past week?
