"The Least of These"

What then should we do?

Mostly I post pictures of thrift on the thrift store's FB page. 
Every few weeks, I post something about the Society of SVDP's mission--to be guided by Gospel values-- specifically the verse where Jesus says, 
"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
--Gospel of Matthew, 40
Sometimes this verse is translated, "Whatever you did TO the least of these...", which has a different spin than "for the least".

This morning I posted this illustration of the gospel verse, "The Corporal Works of Mercy", by Meinrad Craighead for The Catholic Worker newspaper, founded by Dorothy Day in the 1930s.
