Yes, but why this one baby specifically. Are there no needy people in your own town?

To use Father Pavone's own words, "The short answer is, Baby Joseph is all of us."

If you look at the whole context of the verse I cited, from about Matthew 25:35-45, the mere awareness of another's suffering makes the action incumbent. Granted, we can't donate money, time or expertise to every worthy cause, nor can we personally bring succor to every suffering person (although it's my personal suspicion that most of us can do more than we do). We can however, pray, and spread awareness so that perhaps another person with the money, time or expertise a situation requires is inspired to give of themselves. IMHO, that's the Christian thing to do.
