Jesus comes to us in the needy
"What finally counts is not whether we know Jesus and his words but whether we live out lives in the Spirit of Jesus. The Spirit of Jesus is the Spirit of Love. Jesus himself makes this clear when he speaks about the last judgment. There people will ask, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And Jesus will answer, “In so far as you did this to one of the least...of mine, you did it to me.” (Matt. 25:37,40)

This is our great challenge and consolation. Jesus comes to us in the poor, the sick, the dying, the prisoners, the lonely, the disabled, and the rejected. There we meet him, and there the door to God's house is opened for us.
