Hear Our Very Own Monsignor Witt

Monsignor Witt will be on Catholic radio

Metro St. Louis radio stations are AM 1460 and AM 1080, and FM 92.7(Metro East and St. Louis), FM 96.7 (St. Louis County), FM102.9 (St. Charles County), FM 102.9 (Washington, MO) and FM 90.1 (Gray Summit)

If anyone is the prophet of the punch line, it is Amos. He trav-els up from the south to preach to the people of the northern kingdom of Israel and he pulls no punches. “Woe to the com-placent,” he begins, and then in a quick series of brush strokes lets them know how God sees them: lying upon their beds, stretched out on their couches, eating their tender lamb and calves, drinking fine wine while the music plays and they anoint themselves with the best oils. Then the punch line—they shall be the first to go into exile. The party is over! In a similar vein Jesus paints a portrait of “Richman”—tradition has named him Dives (Latin for “rich man”)—dressed in the best, eating the best, insulated in his own little world, while at his door Lazarus lies starving, with only dogs coming to lick his sores. It is a scene of total indifference to the plight of the poor. God’s response is clear. The wheel will turn. And when it does, so shall Lazarus and Richman. What was a gap between them becomes a chasm. The Letter to Timothy today contains advice from a mentor to his beloved child in the faith. It offers of profile of how the baptized person is to live. It’s a shame that the reading does not begin earlier (1 Timothy 6:9–10) and end later (6:17–19), because these verses directly warn about the dangers of money, offering advice for the wealthy so that they may “lay hold of eternal life” (6:12).

Living God’s Word Jesus became poor so that we might be rich in the grace and wisdom of the Lord. We can pray and meditate on the respon-sorial psalm for this week: “Blessed is he who keeps faith forever, secures justice for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets captives free” (Psalm 146:7).
