We are Jesus today. The Church is Jesus’ Disciples–followers. We are called not just to worship and share the Sacraments but to do the deeds that he did. Hence, we feed the poor, we visit the sick, we assist our neighbors. In addition, since this is a complex world, we encourage our government to care for each other–to house the homeless, help those down on their luck, and care for the sick and chronically ill. When our government fails, we step in ourselves–and when government enters a field, we gracious bow out and do other things. From Old Testament times, prophets instructed people to care for the widows and orphans, the poor and sick, travelers and foreigners–so we, hearing the prophets' call, do the same and insist our government does the same.
