Matthew 25:31-46

[31] And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. [32] And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. [34] Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [35] For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:

[36] Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me. [37] Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink?[38] And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee? [39] Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee? [40] And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.

[41] Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. [42] For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink.      [43] I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me. [44] Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?[45] Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.

[46] And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.

CHAPTER XV.
For the Monday after the First Sunday of Lent.
Of the true manner of
spiritually performing the corporal works of
mercy, the second
feria after the Sunday Invocalit, as these words
were read in the
Gospel, "Come, ye blessed of My Father ;
for I was
hungry,"  St. Gertrude said to our Lord : "
my Lord, since we cannot feed the hungry and give drink
to the
thirsty, because our Rule forbids us to possess any-
thing of our own, teach me how we may participate in the
sweet
blessings with which Thou hast promised in this
Gospel to reward works of mercy." Our Lord replied : "As
I am the Salvation and Life of the soul, and as I continu
ally hunger and thirst for the salvation of men, if you
endeavour to
study some words of Scripture every day for
the benefit of
others, you will bestow on Me a most sweet
refection. If
you read with the intention of obtaining the
grace of compunction or devotion, 

you appease My thirstby giving Me an agreeable beverage to drink. If you employ yourself in recollection for an hour each day, you giveMehospitality ; and if you apply yourself daily to acquiresome new virtue, you clothe Me. You visit Me when sick,by striving to overcome temptation, and to conquer yourevil inclinations;andyou visit Me in prison, and solace Myafflictions with the sweetest consolations, when you prayfor sinners and for the souls inpurgatory." He added :" Those whoperform these devotions daily for My love,especially during the holy season of Lent, will most certainly receive the tenderest and most bountiful recompensewhich My incomprehensible omnipotence, My inscrutable
wisdom, and My most loving benevolence, can bestow."
