The following is a litany that I wrote for our campers to use this past summer. It is based on this scripture passage. I share it with you to reflect on these important words of Jesus. –Chad Hershberger Leader: When I was hungry, you gave me food. When I was thirsty, you gave me drink. Campers: What you do to other people, you do to me. Leader: When I was weary, you helped me find rest. When I was anxious, you calmed my fears. Campers: What you do to other people, you do to me. Leader: When I was little, you taught to me to read. When I was lonely, you spent time with me. Campers: What you do to other people, you do to me. Leader: When I was in prison, you came to my cell. When I was on a sick bed, you cared for me. Campers: What you do to other people, you do to me. Leader: When I was laughed at, you stood by my side. When I was happy, you shared in my joy. Campers: What you do to other people, you do to me. Leader: When I was hungry, you gave me food. When I was thirsty, you gave me drink. Campers: What you do to other people, you do to me. Leader: Jesus, we thank you for being the living water we need for life. Help us share your gift with everyone. All: Amen.
