St. James reminded us how important our “talk” is. Today he reminds us about the importance of our “walk”: we are called to talk and walk honorably before God! We must live and love as Jesus Christ did. God has always called his people to care for the widow and the fatherless, and he challenges us to offer genuine help to others who are forgotten, overlooked, and find themselves outsiders Deuteronomy 15:1-18). As Jesus’ followers, we must care for others while keeping ourselves holy to God. St. James, wants us to know that this is what “Christyle-living” is all about! “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” James 1:27

How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you.
