From Domestic Liturgy:

Our Lord Jesus Christ, King Of The Universe


Jesus said to His disciples:

“When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.

Before him will be gathered all the nations,

and he will separate them one from another...

he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.

Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

for I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
I was naked and you clothed me,
I was sick and you visited me,
I was in prison and you came to me.

...‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty? And when did we welcome you, or clothe you? And when did we see you in prison and visit you?’

And the King will answer them,

‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’

Then he will say to those at his left hand,

‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels;

I was hungry and you gave me no food,
I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
I was a stranger and you did not welcome me,
naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’

Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them,

‘Truly, I say to you,

as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.’

And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

(loosely from the Gospel of Matthew)

I pray that we may take account of our actions.

The mercy we have shown our most bitter enemies is the same mercy and measure God will show us.

Life is serious (Part 1)(Part 2)(Part 3)(Part 4).

PEACE ✌ † 🙏 🐕‍🦺
