Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.

Where you don't expect him
In his story about the last judgement, Jesus says something surprising. Whoever fed someone hungry, took in a stranger or visited a prisoner, did it for him.
Both groups in the story are astonished. When did we see you? They hadn't noticed. Jesus is present in the people who stand out least. Whoever looks for him often finds him where he didn't expect to.
Question for today
Who is the least in my surroundings today?
Prayer
Lord, open my eyes to the people I walk past too quickly. Let me see you in them, and serve you in them. Amen.
