“Amen I say to you,
as long as you did NOT do it
for one of these least ones,
you did NOT do it for Me.”
Matthew 25:45
“If you are willing to listen to me,
then, O servants of Christ,
His brothers and co-heirs,
I say, we should visit Christ
while there is an opportunity,
take care of Him and feed Him.
We should clothe Christ and welcome Him.
We should honour Him,
not only at our table, like some;
not only with ointments, like Mary Magdalene;
not only with a sepulchre,
like Joseph of Arimathea;
nor with things which have to do with His burial,
like Nicodemus… nor finally,
with gold, incense and myrrh, like the Magi.”
St Gregory Nazianzen (330-390)
Father and Doctor of the Church
“The great wealth of Christians
is found in the needs of the poor,
provided we grasp how to put our
possessions to good use.
The poor are always before us;
if we entrust our wealth to them,
we shall not lose it.”
St Augustine (354-430)
Father and Doctor of Grace
“The Most Blessed Sacrament
is Christ made visible.
The poor sick person
is Christ again made visible.”
St Gerard Majella (1726-1755)
