Whatever you did for
the least of these brothers of mine,
you did for me.
the least of these brothers of mine,
you did for me.
--Matthew 25:40
You cannot be a Christian without living like a Christian. You cannot be a Christian without practicing the Beatitudes. You cannot be a Christian without doing what Jesus teaches us in Matthew 25. It’s hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of your help. If I say I am a Christian, but do these things, I’m a hypocrite.
--Pope Francis
