Dear Friends, Taken from a religious magazine. THE MISERS PRAYER The old Miser was overheard at his prayers: If the Almighty, may His holy name be blessed for ever, would give me a hundred thousand dollars, I would give ten thousand to the poor. I promise I would. And if the Almighty were not to trust me, let him deduct the ten thousand in advance and just send me the balance. THE LORD SAID: I was hungry, and you discussed the problem of my hunger in air-conditioned flats. I was imprisoned on account of my commitment to the cause of the poor, and you crept off quietly to your chapel and prayed for my release. I was naked and you debated on the morality of my nakedness. I was sick and you knelt and thanked God for your health. I was homeless and you preached to me about the everlasting and eternal home in heaven. I was lonely, and you left me alone and went to pray for me. You are seen so holy, so close to God, but I am still very hungry, lonely and cold.
