Who Is Jesus To Me?

I've just finished the biography of Mother Teresa, and I just had to share this poem with everyone. It depicts her interpretation of Matthew 25:40. And I find that the more I read through this poem, the more I can't help but to marvel in agreement.


Who Is Jesus To Me?

Jesus is the Word made Flesh.
Jesus is the Bread of Life.
Jesus is the Victim offered for our sins on the Cross.
Jesus is the Sacrifice offered at the Holy Mass for the sins of the world and mine.
Jesus is the Word - to be spoken.
Jesus is the Truth - to be told.
Jesus is the Way - to be walked.
Jesus is the Light - to be lit.
Jesus is the Life - to be lived.
Jesus is the Love - to be loved.
Jesus is the Joy - to be shared.
Jesus is the Sacrifice - to be offered.
Jesus is the Peace - to be given.
Jesus is the Bread of Life - to be eaten.
Jesus is the Hungry - to be fed.
Jesus is the Thirsty - to be satiated.
Jesus is the Naked - to be clothed.
Jesus is the Homeless - to be taken in.
Jesus is the Sick - to be healed.
Jesus is the Lonely - to be loved.
Jesus is the Unwanted - to be wanted.
Jesus is the Leper - to wash His wounds.
Jesus is the Beggar - to give Him a smile.
Jesus is the Drunkard - to listen to Him.
Jesus is the Retard - to protect Him.
Jesus is the Little One - to embrace Him.
Jesus is the Blind - to lead Him.
Jesus is the Dumb - to speak for Him.
Jesus is the Crippled - to walk for Him.
Jesus is the Drug Addict - to befriend Him.
Jesus is the Prostitute - to remove from danger and befriend.
Jesus is the Prisoner - to be visited.
Jesus is the Old - to be served.





I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. -Jesus (Matthew 25:40)
