“Come, you who are blessed by my Father…” (Mt. 25:31-46)
Where do your goods come from? If you think: it comes from my luck, you are an atheist, says St. Basil, if by God, they have a purpose…. But you, who wrap your goods in the folds of an insatiable avarice… Who is the miser? He who is not content with enough…”. And the affirmation continues: “To the hungry belongs the bread that you put in reserve; to the naked the cloak that you keep in your wardrobe, to the barefoot the shoes that rot in your closet, to the needy the money that you hide… .” In Jesus’ statements, it appears that the one who fed or clothed the poor or visited the sick, was Jesus himself…caring for those whom He attended, visited, and helped; but the most surprising thing is that: “every time they did it with one of these, the least of my brothers, they did it for me”.
