The man who says: I know Him, but does not do what He commands is a liar and the truth is not with him" ( 1 John 2: 3-4).
Does Christ find evidence of our genuine concern for His beloved poor when He looks at the fruits of our life?
In both the Old and the New Testaments we see the thread of God's concern for the poor and the marginalized.
Christ announced his Messianic identity and mission in saying that the He came "to preach the Good News to the poor" (Matthew 25:18).
Christ's criterion for determining the authenticity of someone's profession to followHim is whether he or she tangibly cares for the those in need.
We are told that when we care for the least and the last, we are actually caring for Christ Himself.
