Do you think there’s a chance we will be asking the Lord on judgment day: “When did we see you hungry and did not feed you? See you naked and did not clothe you? See you homeless and did not take you in?" We will all be accountable on judgment day not only for the state of my own soul, but also for the souls of those whose lives I have touched. This is the warning Benedict gives to the abbot.
We have all heard it said that we do not get to heaven or hell on our own. We always take someone with us. If we keep the great commandment Jesus gave us--Love God with all your heart, Love your neighbor as yourself with all your heart, Love yourself with all your heart—assures us that we will save our own souls and the souls of others.
Sr. Veronica, OSB
