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.’ (Mt 25:31-46)

Who are these “least ones” we hear about in the Parable of the Last Judgment? Of course, they are the ones who are sitting on the throne with the Son of Man in his glory. Perhaps the point of the parable is a little bit more than simply being a “nice guy.” If the “least ones” are sitting on the throne, then we’re in a world turned upside down. That’s what happens when the Crucified One is the Risen Lord!
These reflections are a result of more than 40 years of ministry as a Roman Catholic priest. Most of these years I spent in the Diocese of Charlotte which covers Western North Carolina. Now I am retired, and live in Medellín, Colombia where I continue to serve as a priest in the Archdiocese of Medellín.
