‘For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
a stranger and you welcomed me,
naked and you clothed me,
ill and you cared for me,
in prison and you visited me.’….
‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’
- Matthew 25: 35-40
