Words from the head of all rule and authority: "you ought to have done"

Matt. 7:12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." (the Golden rule). Micah 6:8

Our Lord, Christ Jesus also was a (political) refugee, he was a simple poor man, an ordinary worker (a carpenter) and God (in the same time). Matt. 7:12 says:" So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." and his message urge us to fight for justice, freedom and human rights! The Church (any Church!) shouldn't remain silent "in such a time as this." (Esther 4:14a). 




And we should help the poor people. Do not deny the Law, as Jesus said. He used this words: "For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others." Matt. 23:23b

And he started with these harsh words: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!" Matt. 23a

Matt.11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Jesus) This, is the message to the poor.

Prayer: "O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more." Ps. 10:17-18

"Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked." Psalm 3:7

"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" Micah 6:8
