Catechism # 2443 - 2448 Scripture Matthew 25:24 -40 Luke 4:16 -21 Luke 6:20 -23 Luke 10:25 -37 Luke 14:12 -14 Luke 21:1 -4 Proclaim Key Concepts – It may only take a moment for someone to fall into the cycle of poverty, but it also only takes us a moment, a shared moment, to remind them of their dignity. – An “I-it” relationship is what we create when we are in transactions with people whom we treat like objects. I-you relationships are characterized by human connection; treating people as people. – Jesus prefers the poor because He is modeling how much we should rely on Him. By encountering the poor, we all have a unique opportunity to also encounter our own poverty and need for a Savior. End of Free Preview Thanks for reviewing this Life Night!
