40 Days of Prayer and Reflection - Lenten Moments: For The Least Among Us


Focusing Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46
“When I was hungry, you gave me something to eat, and when I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink.”

Theme: For the least among us.
Jesus tells us that he is in the faces of the hungry, the thirsty, the naked, the imprisoned. The least loveable among us—that is where Jesus is. And he is rather clear—“feed me, clothe me, visit me. . . and the reign of God will be yours.”

Reflective Moment
In our community, where are the hungry, the naked, the most forgotten? How can we reach out to them?

Living the Message
Choose one simple way you will reach out to a forgotten person today (i.e., pack a lunch and give it to the homeless person who stands at the intersection, purchase a children’s game and drop it off at the nearest family shelter).

Prayer Moment
Lord, today we lift up to you the lonely and most forgotten people in our community. Through our actions and our prayers may they experience your love and care. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
