as ye have done it unto the least of these


 

 And the King shall answer

and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,

Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the

least of these my brethren, ye have

done it unto me.

 

Then shall he say also

unto them on the left hand,

Depart from me, ye cursed, into

everlasting fire, prepared for

the devil and his angels:

 

For I was an hungred,

and ye gave me no meat:

I was thirsty, and ye

gave me no drink:

 

I was a stranger,

and ye took me not in:

naked, and ye clothed me not:

sick, and in prison, and

ye visited me not.

 

Matthew 25:40-43

 

People

who treat other people

as less than human must not be

surprised when the bread they have

cast on the waters comes

floating back to them,

poisoned.

 

James Baldwin

 

…In spite of spectacular strides

in science and technology, and still unlimited ones

to come, something basic is missing. There is a sort of poverty of

the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological

abundance. The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have

become morally and spiritually. We have learned to fly the air like

birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned

the simple art of living together

as brothers.

 

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

three miracles of jesus

There

are three miracles of our

Brother Jesus not yet recorded in the Book:

the first that he was a man like you and me; the second that

he had a sense of humor; and the third that he

knew he was a conqueror though

conquered.

 

Kahlil Gibran

 

Why do

people hate Jesus,

or at least prefer the ethereal dead

version known as Christ? Because Jesus made

outrageous demands: Love your enemy,

renounce material possessions,

give all you have to

the poor.

 

Barbara Ehrenreich

 

A

conservative is

someone who admires radicals

centuries after they’re

dead.

 

Leo Rosten

 

 

Think of the life

of the great Master Jesus Christ

who was the soul of religion — one sees

that from beginning to end there was nothing

but love and forgiveness. The best expression of love

is that love which is expressed in forgiveness.

Those who came with their wrongs, errors,

imperfections, before the love, that was

all forgiven; there was always a

stream of love which

always purified.

 

Hazrat Inayat Khan

 

add to goodness from your own heart

the way of jesus

 

Whenever we see

that goodness is lacking,

we may add to it from our own heart

and so complete the nobility of human nature.

This is done by patience, tolerance, kindness, forgiveness.

The lover of goodness loves every little sign of goodness.

He overlooks the faults and fills up the gaps by

pouring out love and supplying that

which is lacking. This is real

nobility of soul.
