Christ has no body now on earth but yours,

No hands but yours, no feet but ours.Yours are the eyes through which to look out Christ’s compassion to the world;Yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good;Yours are the hands

with which He is to bless others now.

St. Teresa of Avila

A Reading from St. Matthew’s

Gospel

Jesus said “Then the King will say to the people on his right, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father! Come and possess the kingdom which has been prepared for you ever since the creation of the world.’ The righteous will then answer him, ‘When Lord did we ever see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? When did we ever see you a stranger, and welcome you in our homes, or naked and clothe you? When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these followers of mine, you did it for me!’” (Matthew 25: 34, 37-40)Slide29

Whatsoever You Do(Hymn from Alive-06, p. 246)

Whatsoever you do to the least of my people,

that you do unto me.When I was hungry you gave me to eat When I was thirsty you gave me to drink. Now enter into the home of your father. Slide30

Whatsoever you do to the least of my people,that

you do unto me.

When I was weary you helped me find rest. When I was anxious you calmed all my fears. Now enter into the home of my Father. Slide31

Whatsoever you do to the least of my people,

that you do unto me.When I was aged, you bothered to smile. When I was restless you listened and cared. Now enter into the home of my Father. Slide32

Whatsoever you do to the least of my people,

that you do unto me.

When I was laughed at you stood by my side. When I was happy you shared in my joy. Now enter into the home of my Father. Whatsoever you do to the least of my people,that you do unto me.
