As a follow-up to yesterday's Gospel reading about the Good Samaritan, "it just so happens" that the reading in today's Morning Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours is from James 2:12-17:
"Speak and act as people who will be judged by the law of freedom. For the judgment is merciless to one who has not shown mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment. What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,' but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead."
