Para afrontar este desafío serio, hacemos un llamamiento a todos los discípulos de Cristo para que recuerden las palabras del Señor, con las que un día seremos juzgados: «Porque tuve hambre y me disteis de comer, tuve sed y me disteis de beber, fui forastero y me hospedasteis, estuve desnudo y me vestisteis, enfermo y me visitasteis, en la cárcel y vinisteis a verme... Os aseguro que cada vez que lo hicisteis con uno de éstos, mis humildes hermanos, conmigo lo hicisteis» (Mt 25,35-36.40).
To meet this grave challenge, we appeal to all followers of Christ to be mindful of the Lord’s words, on which we will one day be judged: «For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me... Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me» (Mt 25:35-36, 40).vatican.va vatican.va
