November 2, 2014 - ALL SOULS DAY


Readings: Wisdom 3: 1-9; Romans 6: 3-9; Matthew 25: 31-46

Selected Gospel Passage: “The righteous will answer him and say, “lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we you stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?  And the King will say to them in reply, “Amen, I say to you whatever you did for one of the least brothers or sisters of mine, you did for me”. (Matthew 25: 37-40)

Meditation: People have the tendency to multiply and impose so many laws and requirements.  Yet one thing is truly required of us - to help the poor and be in solidarity with them. It is, indeed, sobering that in the end this is the only thing that matters - what we did or did NOT do for the least of our brothers and sisters.  Our true measure and worth would depend on our ACTUALLY lifting our fingers to help the poor, the orphans, the strangers, the destitute and those in the margins of our society. Beware of the YEAST of the Pharisees!
