St. Paul's Mission In-Reach & Outreach
The Words of Jesus: I was hungry and
you gave me food, thirsty and you gave me drink; a stranger and you welcomed me;
naked and you clothed me; sick and you visited me; in prison and you came to me.
Then the righteous will answer him, saying: Lord when...? .."as you did it
to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you did it to me.
Matthew 25.
