This Sunday we were given the parable of the Rich Man
and Lazarus. And on cursory read of this
parable it would seem that that the Rich Man, because he was rich, was tormented in the netherworld… and the poor
man, because he was poor, is carried
by angels to the bosom of Abraham. Can you picture how rankled the Pharisees
were, dressed in their fine robes and upper-class status, as they listened to
this story?
Actually many who read this parable today are just as upset
– after all isn’t being rich what life is all about?!
Well, would you be surprised that recently the Pope was
preaching the same lesson to all of us as Jesus was to the Pharisees?
