“Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto me.”

[Debi]

Matthew 25: 35-40 "‘For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38 ‘And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39 ‘When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 “The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’ "

Like the one woman said, these people aren't asking for gourmet dinners or limo rides, just basic care. How low must we sink? This makes me mad and sad at the same time. Damn politicians!

How long before the most vulnerable of our population be treated with just the basic amount of human dignity?
