Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.
You did it to me
This is the end of the only description Jesus gave of the final judgment, and it contains no doctrine at all. Nobody is asked what they believed. They are asked whether they fed the hungry, welcomed the stranger, visited the prisoner. And the surprise on both sides is the same: when did we see you?
The teaching is that Christ is not located in one place. He is met in the least, the ones with nothing to offer in return, whether or not you recognize him. This makes every act of service a kind of sacrament, and every dismissal of a person a small refusal of God. Isaiah had already said as much about fasting: the fast God chooses ends in bread shared with the hungry.
Practice
Take the money you would have spent on the meal you are fasting from today and give it, or take the hour and use it for someone who cannot repay you.
