When the Son of Man comes in his glory…
he will sit on the throne of glory.
All the nations will be gathered before him
and he will separate people
onefromanother
as a shepherd separates
sheepfromgoats
and he will say to those on his right…
“
Come, you that are blessed by my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you
hungry
a stranger
sick
thirsty
for I was
naked
in prison
and you cared for me.
WHEN
?
LORD
When I was
HUNGRY
you gave me food
When I was
THIRSTY
you gave me a drink
When I was
A STRANGER
you welcomed me
When I was
NAKED
you clothed me
When I was
SICK
you cared
for me
When I was
IN PRISON
you visited me
Just as you did it to one of these
who are members of my family,
you did it to me.
Matthew 25.31-46

Here and now, Lord,
we place before you simply some
of the seven billion people
with whom we share this world.
Although we may never meet them,
nor even know their names,
we place them in your loving care.
Hold them.
Guide them.
Be with them.
May they be full of your love,
and share it with those they meet,
as we, once more, commit ourselves
to do the same.
Amen.
