Go in peace!

Then the king will say to those on his right
“Come, you who are blessed by my Father;
take your inheritance,
the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink
I was a stranger and you invited me in.”
Matthew 25: 34-36
