Leviticus 19: 1-2, 11-18; Psalm 19B;
Matthew 25: 31-46

The everyday help that we can give.

The lesson driven home by the story of the Last Judgement (Matthew 25: 31-46) is that entrance to heaven is available to anyone who shares the bond of humanity; and it will depend on our loving attention to those who are needy, vulnerable. I examine my conscience in the light of Mother Teresa of Calcutta’s words: “Jesus is present in the broken bodies of suffering people. My way of serving him is to serve them. The biggest disease in the world is not leprosy or AIDS but the feeling of being unwanted, uncared for.”
