7. CONCERN FOR OTHERS

"Come, you that are blessed by my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world;
for I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me."
Mt 25: 34-35



"The rich have a duty to come to the help of the poor.
By being concerned with the poor,
you are defending the honour of God himself."
Pierre Bienvenu Noailles



 

image Hunger is an ever-present reality in our world. Refugees, victims of war and disaster, and the poor are a constant reminder of Christ's words and cry out to us for a response.

 

Move my hands, Lord, today
that I may feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty.
Help me to give generously
not from my abundance,
but from what I need for myself.
