“Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world “Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me. I was ill and you comforted me, in prison and you visited me…I assure you, as often as you did it for one of the least brothers and sisters, you did it for me.” (Matthew 25)
