Monday of the 1st week of Lent


 

 

 

 

I was hungry and you gave me no food.
I was thirsty and you gave me no drink.
We worry, did we give them food.
Did we give them drink.

I always think this applies to us.
We think ourselves virtuous.
But we fall so short,  not thinking of others but of us.
It’s as if our spirit is almost mendacious.

I was a stranger.
And you did not welcome me.
How kind are we to the stranger.
Or is it all about me , me.

I fear we have a long time in purgatory.
But heaven comes after purgatory.

…..

We fed the hungry
Or we ask ourselves did we
We have to answer

See Matthew 25: 31-46
