Faith and Works
Faith and Works
"What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."
James 2:14-17

What was the most rewarding part of your experience?
In Religion 25, you learn about the many prophets called to more. You learn about Jesus who called us to a greater call. Take time to reflect on how volunteering your time to help those in need is a part of your greater call. Research and analyze the times that Jesus has called us to serve others. How did the disciples serve others?
Do a Lectio Divina on the following passage:
Matthew 25:35-45 ESV
35 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, 36 I was 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, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[a] you did it to me.’
