Matthew 25

Lord Jesus, at the time appointed by our father, you will come in your glory with all the holy angels, and you will sit on a glorious throne. Then you will separate the multitudes like a shepherd separates sheep from goats.

Lord, I seek to be among the sheep. You have chosen me and converted me. You have given me a new heart to minister to those who are hungry and thirsty and to be hospitable to strangers. I have a love from you and seek to let that Divine love spring through me to those who are naked and to those who are in prison.

You, Holy Spirit, testify to me the sweetness of these “good works”. I believe you “made” me for such works. They are part of the Kingdom that you have prepared, from the very foundation of the world, for me and for all of those who are yours.

It is actually your person who does the works through me, and I do them out of my salvation not to earn my salvation.
