Twenty Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time 3

In the context of Luke's Gospel, this parable, deliv-

ered in the presence of a crowd of listeners, is part

of Jesus' response to some Pharisees. These Phari-

sees are described in Luke's Gospel as “loving mon-

ey.” (Note: The Pharisees were followers of a sect of

Judaism ac!ve before, during, and a4er Jesus' life-

!me. They taught an oral interpreta!on of the Law

of Moses as the basis for popular Jewish piety. They

put less emphasis on Temple worship and more on

applying the law to everyday life. Though they are

o4en portrayed nega!vely in the Gospels, they

shared many of Jesus' and the early Church's con-

cerns about the law.) Jesus observed that the ac!ons

of some Pharisees betrayed misplaced priori!es:

they spoke one way, but acted in another. The story

of the rich man and Lazarus demonstrates the im-

portance of the care of the poor and is a reminder to

those who would follow Jesus of the unimportance

of wealth in the eyes of God.

Family Connec@on

Talk with your children about some of the things that

they have that can be shared with others. Ask your

children to describe a !me when they had to share

something that they had. Ask if this was easy or diffi-

cult and why. Talk about some of ways in which your

family shares your possessions. Read together to-

day's Gospel, Luke 16:19-31. Consider together some

reasons why the rich man may not have shared his

riches with the poor man, Lazarus. Iden!fy some rea-

sons why we might share our possessions with oth-

ers. Make a commitment as a family to do something

this week in which you will choose to share your pos-

sessions with someone in need.

First Reading

Amos 6:1,4-7

God will judge the complacency of the people and

their leaders.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 146:7-10

Happy are those who find solace in God, the help of

the poor.

Second Reading

1 Timothy 6:11-16

Paul exhorts Timothy to stay faithful to God in all

things.

Gospel Reading

Luke 16:19-31

Jesus tells the parable of the reversal of fortunes be-

tween the rich man and the poor man, Lazarus.

Background on the Gospel Reading

A major theme in the Gospel of Luke is the im-

portance of the care of the poor in the life of disci-

pleship. In the parable found in today's Gospel, Jesus

contrasts the life of a rich man and the poor man,

Lazarus, who lives in the shadow of the rich man and

his wealth. Both die. Lazarus finds himself in heaven;

the rich man in the netherworld. The rich man asks

for assistance from Lazarus in his torment. But Abra-

ham reminds the rich man of the good things he had

in his life and describes the current situa!on as a re-

versal of fortunes. The rich man then asks that Laza-

rus be sent to warn his family, but this is denied with

the reminder that Moses and the prophets have

warned of judgment for those who neglect the care

of the poor.
