We have the word, 'Bridge" in common in our Ministries. More significant I think our missions seem similar ... to Bridge isolation? In our focus we bridge the isolation of those who live with disabilities. So as you serve your community, be aware that we are here to help if the need is for a Wheelchair or walker (we have many types of DME) or if there are other ways we can support your out reach and utilize our experience with those who live with disablities, give me call.

In reply to A Day in the Life of a Volunteer:

It might also be possible to understand the reference as "the least of these, my brotherhood". The term brotherhood being used in the same way that a parent would refer to "my children". (My brothers = my children)? One can refer to "my children" without putting the children on the same plane as the parents.

And if that's the case, who are "our brothers" in the brotherhood? I suspect they would be similar to (and at least as deserving as) our "neighbors", referenced in the parable of the Good Samaritan. The Good Samaritan reflects and confirms Matthew 25, in my opinion.

In reply to A Day in the Life of a Volunteer:

"Who are the brothers in Matthew 25"?

There has been a lot of discussion about that. Some hold the opinion that Jesus was referring strictly to his immediate disciples, or the professional clergy, (i.e. a monastic "brother").

Children of a common Father are Brothers and Sisters. Jesus addressed God as "Father", and when teaching about the spiritual reality of the Kingdom of God Jesus often used terms like "Your Father", or "Our Father".

Based upon that, it is my opinion in faith that Jesus was referring to all of the children of God, male and female of course, as brothers. Human beings have older and younger brothers and sisters, but we should not compare ourselves directly to Jesus so it might be important to remain open to the reality that we are "lesser" children of God (lesser brothers) than was Jesus. Maybe the reference to the "least of these, my brothers" was more significant in a non-English context.

But let's suppose I am wrong, and that Jesus was not commanding us to offer the same relief to our fellow human beings that we would offer to Him if we found Him in distress. Let's suppose He was really referring to a separate, more elite or "deserving" group of people; people who are professionally religious- or at least baptized Christians. I would rather live in risk of the error of making some effort to relieve the suffering of as many people as I can than live in risk of the error of misjudging just who Jesus was*really* referencing.

As a fallible mortal, I'm probably not going to get it right in either event. Jesus will love me anyway, despite my errors.

Although we will never be "worthy", in response to the unconditional love of God and Our Savior, it probably makes sense to make an effort to walk the right path.
