To Be Judged

Scripture:

“‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’” (Matthew 25:34-36)

Thought for the day:

“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by: “I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.” From Words to Love by Mother Teresa

Prayer for the day:

Dear God, who can stand before you for judgment? Certainly, not I! Empower me live with the grace and compassion of Your Son Jesus Christ, so that I may be the reflection of Your blessing in this world and will know the inheritance, the kingdom prepared for the faithful in the world to come. Amen.
