Corporal Works of Mercy

Feed the hungry

Give drink to the thirsty

Shelter the homeless

Clothe the naked

Care for the sick

Visit the imprisoned

Bury the dead

 

The Scriptural basis for the corporal works of mercy is the parable in the Gospel of Matthew, in which Jesus teaches his disciples about God’s criteria for the Last Judgment (cf.Mt25:35-42).

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

It is not incumbent upon the American taxpayer to feed, water, and barn ALL the world's hungry, thirsty, homeless (these people crawling in already have homes, but I digress). Do not the people in Honduras, Mexico, etc, have a responsibility to care for their own poor? Why should it be our problem?

Its a simple matter of limited resources. America cannot accommodate every poor person on earth. What do you want, for every person in the world to crowd into the United States' borders? As it is, the current rate of invasion, it won't be long before we, the American taxpayers, are all poorer than ever, hungry, and homeless. And nobody will care for us -- the "children" swarming in here will kick Atzlan dirt in our collective face while the complicit government looks on laughing.

Are you talking about the vets that have no jobs? Are you talking about the American kids in our decaying classrooms? Perhaps you're talking about our seniors who can't live with rising food prices.

Our Lord also said you will always have the poor with you. It's folly to bring in others when you can't feed those around you.

Ecc 7:12 For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

Pro 10:15 A rich man's wealth is his strong city; the poverty of the poor is their ruin.

There will be no Christians at the last judgment...And secondly, where's the pope's corporal works of mercy??? His arms should be wide open to these 'refugees' at the vatican...Sounds like one of the Pharisees in Mat. 23...

How many of these “children” will you and your congregation be taking in, then? I’m not being “snarky” I’m very serious.
