Week 9 - The Journey Day 6
"He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.' And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."" Matthew 25:45-46

Jesus speaks with love and concern in His heart. He knows the plight that we are on and how easy the path that leads to hell. His words recorded 2000 plus years ago speak of the future and they were spoken in a way that leads us to change. Even the most ardent disciple can look within and see areas that are not in alignment with God. Areas of our own lives that could lead us off the path of righteous.
The life that Christ lived was not an easy one but there is not one circumstance where someone asked Jesus for help or was in need that He did not help. In our own lives this is the example we are to follow, where there is hunger, give food, where there is thirst give drink, where there is need and you are asked to help, give of yourself, this is the bread of life that transforms us.
What is God saying to me?
Dear Father, I see the love and concern when You said these words. The hope was for us to take them to heart and be transformed by them. Any time I have asked for help, you have always helped, this is what you ask of us, to give of the resources that are freely given to us. Thank You for the blessing of this day and all it has to offer, may I use the gifts, talents and resources to the best of my abilities with Your help. Amen.
Mary, Mother of All, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of the Holy Family, Pray for us.
