Together in Faith: “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” Matthew 25:40

Jesus’ magnificent vision of the last judgment reminds us that Christ is present in everyone. This is easy to remember in the abstract but not so much in the particular. Rather than turn away from “the least,” let’s remember that what we do to them, we do to Christ.

Together in Faith: “For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.” Matthew 25:29

Widespread hurricane damage in Puerto Rico seems like a terrible example of those who have so little to begin with losing even that little. Remember that church relief services offer both immediate and long-term support for victims of these tragedies. It’s never too late to contribute to church disaster relief.

Together in Faith: “Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” Matthew 25:13

This statement of Jesus has many applications. For a steward, it means to be constantly seeking ways to serve, to care, to support, to encourage, to give, to love.

Together in Faith: “Do whatever the (Pharisees) teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for they do not practice what they teach.” Matthew 23:2-3

As a person who consistently practiced what he preached, even to the very end of his life, Jesus was deeply offended by the hypocrisy he observed. And yet, we all know how hard it is to be constantly faithful to the high calling we have received. As good stewards, we strive to do our best; when we slip, we seek forgiveness and return to the good way as strongly as we can.
