Today's gospel (Mt 25:31-46): "I was hungry and you fed me," describes the Works of Mercy. A key text for Dorothy Day and other saints: "The mystery of the poor is this: that they are Jesus and what we do for them we for him." But we are also judged by what we fail to do.

You nuts attacking #Caesar for crucifying Jesus need to show me where Jesus ever told Caesar how to run Rome or his Personal Charity. He went out of his way to forgive those who tortured him, but he had zero tolerance for barbarians.
You nuts attacking @realDonaldTrump for securing the border need to show me where Jesus told Caesar how to run Rome. Jesus taught personal charity but went out of His way to say render unto Caesar that which is his. Jesus never told Caesar to let barbarians illegally enter Rome.
