BULLETIN CONNECTION
Sunday's Gospel is pretty direct: feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick, and visit the imprisoned. But the Gospel is more than charitable directives for believers.
The theology of the Matthew 25 expressly states that when Christians do all these things for those who are afflicted, they are not just doing kind deeds to other men and women. When Christians do these things, they are doing them to Christ!
That is a pretty bold statement. The implication is that every time we encounter a beggar, a
homeless person, an immigrant (legal or illegal), someone who is sick, or someone in prison, we are meeting up with Christ. We believe in his real presence in the Eucharist. Do we believe in his presence in his least brothers and sisters?
