WE PROFESS OUR FAITH WHEN WE
CARE FOR THOSE IN NEED
“The criterion by which we will be judged when
we come into the presence of God is practical,
simple and clear. It is not so much what we do
for the God ‘we cannot see’ that matters, in the
end, but what we do for one another –
expressing the fact that we are true children of
the same Father (cf.1 Jn 4:20). And among
God’s children it is the poor and needy who
should have our special care – our ‘preferential
option.’ The things that will establish our
worth in the sight of God, and our readiness to
share in God’s friendship, are simple things,
possible to all, learned and simple, rich and
poor. What overturns our expectations and is
immensely reassuring is the fact that those
who have proved themselves worthy of hearing
the Lord’s invitation – ‘Come, you whom my
Father has blessed, take for your heritage the
kingdom prepared for you since the foundation
of the world’ – may well be taken unawares.
Sharing our humanity and experience in a
struggling world, the ‘Son of Man’ has made
himself one in a privileged way with those in
greatest need.

Thoughts of Fr Francis Jordan SD S
In order that you may be good,
reliable announcers of Christ you ought
very especially to prepare yourselves now by
diligent study during the
time of your training, so that you may acquire a
thorough knowledge
of Catholic teaching and may be able to proclaim it.
