Jean Taffin, Reformed, Walloon pastor, warns that neglecting or contemning the poor will injure ourselves. God set up a unity where the image of God shines more clearly to us in fellow believers. We are more strongly bound to care for their relief.

Today, is the warning instead that we would to great injury to ourselves if we contemn those who neglect the poor?

How can you act upon the visage of Christ shining in poor believers?

Hugh Latimer, Protestant martyr, on the Lord’s Prayer. In it he finds a fascinating reason to help poor Christians. He says that you have wealth, while they have been praying all along for OUR daily bread. Thus, their prayer is more effectual than yours. Helping them is a way to be thankful to those who prayed for you.

Have you prayed for others’ being recently?
