When the Second Coming comes, how will we be judged? My subtitles, not the speaker

What gives value to human existence and life? Right faith? Worship? Keeping the divine commandments? And these of course are absolutely essential, but not only these! We should certainly add to the foregoing the practical love for all. This parabolic narrative, preserved by the evangelist Matthew, makes clear what has priority in our lives and what does not, and is rich in examples and illustrative images from pastoral, judicial, and political life. So Christ teaches: "WHEN (the When and Where of the Judgment is unknown. Known to us is only how it will judge us all: By the measure of love) the 'Son of Man' (a title of the Messiah, referring to Jesus Christ and pointing to his humiliation, sufferings and glorious resurrection) will come in all his glory and accompanied by his holy angels (and they too will bear witness to the deeds of the people whom they ministered to for salvation), he will sit on the throne of his glory. Then all the nations will be gathered before him (risen from the dead), and he will separate them (with all accuracy) as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats (the Israelites believed that they themselves would be judged with mercy and that the idolaters would be punished. Here he emphasizes to them that all will be judged in the same way). The sheep (so-called the righteous for their meekness and fruitfulness in virtues) he will place at his right hand, and the goats (so-called the sinners for their wildness, mischief, deviation, and heartlessness) at his left (on the right, in ancient times, was the honorable position, and on the left the position of marginalization and degradation). The judge will then say king to those on his right: "Come, ye blessed of my Father (the elect), inherit (as due and familiar from above) the (spiritual) kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world (or before the foundation of the world). For I was hungry and you gave me to eat (meaning the essentials), I was thirsty and you gave me a drink (it was a very important act of love in the East, because of the scarcity of water), I was a stranger and you girded me (passers-by and strangers were often treated with hostility and were often defenseless), naked (the half-naked, the scantily clad and regimented man) and you dressed me, sick and visited, imprisoned and you came to see me" (referring to the charitable acts of the faithful in particular, because it is these that he mainly asks of Christians). Then the people of God will answer him: "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you naked and girded you, or naked and clothed you? When did we see you sick or imprisoned and come to see you?" (all these questions are due to their true love, which does not contain self-interest and hypocrisy). And they will be answered by the benevolent Judge: "I assure you (it is the climax of the parable) that since you have done these things for one of these insignificant brothers of mine (his brothers because Christ too was poor, humble, least in the world, discarded), you have done them for me" (this is a great honor for us, because Christ, as the Son of Man and representative of humanity, identifies himself with every human being who has needs and problems). Then he will say to those on his left: "Depart from my presence, you who are cursed (not by God, for God does not curse, but by their own works), go away from me into eternal fire (this is about the pain and misery that will be felt by people who, by their bad way of life, have decided themselves to be far from the love of God and their fellow human beings), which has been prepared for the devil and his angels (God has prepared for people his kingdom, not hell, while eternal damnation is the CHOICE of various people). For I was hungry and you gave me no food (again, meaning only necessary food, not luxurious food), I was thirsty and you did not give me to drink, I was a stranger and you did not pamper me, Naked and you did not clothe me, Sick and imprisoned and you did not come to see me" (God will not judge people because they did not deliver some from prison, or their poverty, or make the sick healthy, but because they did not care and did not do mostly what was necessary to help). Then they will answer him too: "Lord, when have we seen you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or imprisoned and not served you?" And he will answer them: "I assure you that since you did not do these things (sins of omission) for one of the insignificant, little ones in the world (he does not mention here the above designation 'my least brethren, for the vicious, cunning and unrighteous will never be able to feel the intimate relationship of Christ with his believers), you did not do them for me either" (tasteless by works of love
