Christian Reflection and Prayer

(In the wake of the budget "crises", I
sent this to my congressmen)

Scripture:

37 “Then the righteous will answer him,
‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and
feed you, or thirsty and give you something
to drink? 38 When did we see you a
stranger and invite you in, or needing
clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we
see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you,
whatever you did for one of the least of these
brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Mathew 25; 37-40 (Today's New International Version)

 Quote:

"If this is gonna be a Christian nation that
doesn't help the poor, either we've got to
pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as
we are, or we've got to acknowledge that
he commanded us to love the poor and
serve the needy without condition! And
then admit, that we just don't wanna do
it."  (Stephen Colbert)

DO WE WANNA DO IT?
