When did I know someone could have used my help and instead I chose to do nothing?

"It's not what you did, it's what you didn't do."
~Sister Charlotte Rigali

It is reflexive and instinctive for me to reach out to others in their time of need.

For a more enriching experience,
go down on your knees to pray or take it one step further
and prostrate yourself (lay face down) on the floor while praying.

Father, there are times when I do not reach out to others when they are in a time of need. All too often we hear ourselves or others say to those hurting, mourning or suffering, "Call me if you need anything." Often times, those who need to call us, won't. We should reach out to them first, not wait until they have suffered enough and then offer assistance. For whatever excuse I have, I know that it is not right. Instead, my laziness, self-absorption and/or judgment gets in the way and prevents me from doing the right thing. Sometimes my own haste gets in the way and I just don't make the time because I'm too self-involved in my space and time. While I may point fingers at others for their lack of common courtesy, I have forgotten common courtesies that I learned as a child such as "please," "thank you" and "excuse me". While I realize that I cannot help everyone nor can I save the world, I can do something to help even if it is just to get the ball rolling for someone else. Even if I just stop in my tracks that very minute and ask someone, "Can I help you with that?" or "Do you need some help?" or better yet, "Let me help you." Thank You for the awareness in today's reading and forgive me for what I have failed to do because whatever I failed to do for the least of Your children I also did to You.
Through Jesus Christ's Most Precious Blood, Most Sacred Name and Most Holy Face, I thank You for this awareness. Amen~

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Matthew 25:31-46

31 "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit upon His glorious throne,
32 and all the nations will be assembled before Him. And He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33 He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.
34 Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me,
36 naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.'
37 Then the righteous will answer Him and say, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?
38 When did we see You a stranger and welcome You, or naked and clothe You?
39 When did we see You ill or in prison, and visit You?'
40 And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for Me.'
41 Then He will say to those on His left, 'Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
42 For I was hungry and you gave Me no food, I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink,
43 a stranger and you gave Me no welcome, naked and you gave Me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for Me.'
44 Then they will answer and say, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to Your needs?'
45 He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for Me.'
46 And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal Life."
The Gospel of the Lord
Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ
