The Matthew 25 Project

This fall in the Diocese of Camden, put your faith into action.
On Christ the King Sunday (November 22/23), the Gospel reading is the Last Judgment from Matthew 25, when Jesus welcomes the righteous to heaven because of how they cared for Christ himself by responding to the needs of those who are poor and vulnerable: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink…” In this famous passage, we hear a clear message from Christ: the work of charity and justice is at the heart of our faith. In preparation for this special day, Diocese of Camden Life & Justice Ministries is partnering with faith communities on The Matthew 25 Project, a five-week series of activities. Parishes throughout the diocese will be hosting a wide variety of events. All are welcome!
Each week will focus on one of the five conditions Jesus mentions in the passage:
-I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me drink: October 19-25
-I was a stranger and you welcomed me: October 26-November 1
-I was naked and you clothed me: November 2-8
-I was ill and you cared for me: November 9-15
-I was in prison and you visited me: November 16-22
