The Prayer Whatsoever You Do

When I was hungry, you gave me to eat;

when I was thirsty you gave me to drink.

Whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to Me.

Come and enter the house of My Father.

When I was a stranger, you opened your doors;

when I was naked, you gave me clothes.

When I was tired, you gave me peace;

when I was frightened, you calmed me down.

When I was small, you taught me to read;

when I was lonely, you gave me your love.

I was in prison, you visited me;

WhenI was sick and you took care of me.

In a strange country, you gave me a home;

when I had no job, you found me one.

When I was wounded, you took care of it;

looking for friendship, you gave me your hand.

Whether I was black, or white or yellow;

mocked at or insulted, you carried my cross.

When I was old, you smiled at me;

when I couldn't find peace, you brought it to me.



You saw me: full of spit and blood;

dirty with sweat, still you said you knew me.

You were on My side in times of despise;

in the hour of joy, we were together.
