“There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s table; even the dogs would come and lick his sores. The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side. He called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in agony in these flames.’ But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony. Besides all this, between you and us a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who might want to pass from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.’ He said, ‘Then, father, I beg you to send him to my father’s house— for I have five brothers—that he may warn them, so that they will not also come into this place of torment.’ Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.’ He said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’” New Revised Standard Version, copyright 1989, by the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

Holding on to that which holds us back Sometimes we never do seem to learn; or, better put, we always take our problems with us, wherever we go, until we learn to let them loose. This unnamed rich man is still trying to be in charge of the situation and of everybody else, even in his own miserable afterlife! He does not even address Lazarus, but asks Abraham to send him as a waterboy to relieve his own suffering. He then is concerned only with the gain of his family – “so that they will not also come into this place of torment” – and not of the welfare of those who, like Lazarus, they are mistreating. He even bandies words with Abraham about having “someone go to them from the dead” so they will repent. Shouldn’t his way to forgiveness have started with saying, “I’m sorry” to those who deserved it? Is there an unnamed “rich man” somewhere deep inside us? When we discover it, what will be our response? —Fr. Greg Ostdiek, SJ, is a former Navy officer who is now a Jesuit priest of the Midwest Province.

Prayer Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

NEDJELJA KROZ GODINU (C) – misna čitanja Prvo čitanje: Am 6, 1a.4-7 Čitanje Knjige proroka Amosa Ovo govori Gospodin svemogući: Ležeći na bjelokosnim posteljama, na počivaljkama izvaljeni, jedu janjad iz stada i telad iz staje; deru se uza zvuk harfe, izumljuju glazbala ko David, piju vino iz vrčeva i mažu se najfinijim uljem, al za slom Josipov ne mare. Stog će prvi sad biti prognani; umuknut će veselje raskošnika. Riječ Gospodnja. Otpjevni psalam: 146, 6c-10 Pripjev: Hvali, dušo moja, Gospodina! On ostaje vjeran dovijeka, potlačenima vraća pravicu, a gladnima kruha daje. Gospodin oslobađa sužnje, Gospodin slijepcima oči otvara. Gospodin uspravlja prignute, Gospodin ljubi pravedne. Gospodin štiti pridošlice, sirote i udovice podupire, a grešnicima mrsi putove. Gospodin će kraljevati dovijeka, tvoj Bog, Sione, od koljena do koljena. Drugo čitanje: 1Tim 6, 11-16 Čitanje Prve poslanice svetoga Pavla apostola Timoteju Božji čovječe! Teži za pravednošću, pobožnošću, vjerom, ljubavlju, postojanošću, krotkošću! Bij dobar boj vjere, osvoji vječni život na koji si pozvan i radi kojega si dao ono lijepo svjedočanstvo pred mnogim svjedocima! Zapovijedam pred Bogom koji svemu život daje i pred Kristom Isusom koji pred Poncijem Pilatom posvjedoči lijepo svjedočanstvo: čuvaj zapovijed, neokaljano i besprijekorno, do pojavka Gospodina našega Isusa Krista. Njega će u svoje vrijeme pokazati On, Blaženi i jedini vladar, Kralj kraljevâ i Gospodar gospodarâ, koji jedini ima besmrtnost, prebiva u svjetlu nedostupnu,koga nitko od ljudi ne vidje niti ga vidjeti može. Njemu čast i vlast vjekovječna! Amen. Riječ Gospodnja. Evanđelje: Lk 16, 19-31 Čitanje svetog Evanđelja po Luki U ono vrijeme: Reče Isus farizejima: »Bijaše neki bogataš. Odijevao se u grimiz i tanani lan i danomice se sjajno gostio. A neki siromah, imenom Lazar, ležao je sav u čirevima pred njegovim vratima i priželjkivao nasititi se onim što je padalo s bogataševa stola. Čak su i psi dolazili i lizali mu čireve. Kad umrije siromah, odnesoše ga anđeli u krilo Abrahamovo. Umrije i bogataš te bude pokopan. Tada u teškim mukama u paklu, podiže svoje oči te izdaleka ugleda Abrahama i u krilu mu Lazara pa zavapi: ’Oče Abrahame, smiluj mi se i pošalji Lazara da umoči vršak svoga prsta u vodu i rashladi mi jezik jer se strašno mučim u ovom plamenu.’ Reče nato Abraham: ’Sinko! Sjeti se da si za života primio dobra svoja, a tako i Lazar zla. Sada se on ovdje tješi, a ti se mučiš. K tome između nas i vas zjapi provalija golema te koji bi i htjeli prijeći odavde k vama, ne mogu, a ni odatle k nama prijelaza nema.’ Nato će bogataš: ’Molim te onda, oče, pošalji Lazara u kuću oca moga. Imam petero braće pa neka im posvjedoči da i oni ne dođu u ovo mjesto muka.’ Kaže Abraham: ’Imaju Mojsija i Proroke! Njih neka poslušaju!’ A on će: ’O ne, oče Abrahame! Nego dođe li tko od mrtvih k njima, obratit će se.’ Reče mu: ’Ako ne slušaju Mojsija i Prorokâ, neće povjerovati sve da i od mrtvih tko ustane.’« Riječ Gospodnja.
