“At the Last Judgement I shall not be asked whether I was successful in my ascetic exercises, how many bows and prostrations I made [in the course of prayer]. I shall be asked, Did I feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and the prisoners. That is all I shall be asked. About every poor, hungry and imprisoned person the Savior says ‘I’: ‘I was hungry and thirsty, I was sick and in prison’. To think that He puts an equal sign between Himself and anyone in need… I always knew it, but now it has somehow penetrated my sinews. It fills me with awe.” St. Mother Maria of Paris
Hi Fr. Peter! What is the reference for this quotation from Mother Maria? I'd like to see more and possibly quote it in something I'm working on. Thanks.
