That which you do to the least among you, you do unto me! (Matthew 25:40)

Imagine five people telling their sacred stories.

Working two jobs making minimum wage

Disabled

Released from prison

No high school diploma

 

Food or rent

Medicine or rent

Drugs or rent

No money for rent

No one will rent to me

 

Sleeping on a park bench

Under a bridge

In a cardboard

In a shelter

With a trick

 

Hungry

Hopeless

Tired

Frightened

Sick

 

Homeless in the richest country in the world. Will you help me?

 

Dollar for a cup of coffee?

Buy me lunch?

Bus money to the VA clinic?

Cab fare to get the kids to school?

Pay for the night?

 

Jesus said: That which you do to the least among you, you do unto me! (Mathew 25:40)

 

Holy One, help me work to create a world in which everyone has a safe and loving home. Amen.
