26TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

FOCUS: How the rich man treated Lazarus is held up to us as an example of how not to act.
Like the rich man, many of us have opportunities for good works right outside our door. And, also like the rich man, we can ignore their very presence. As Christians, we are called to be good stewards of God’s gifts to us. We are not to overlook those less fortunate, but rather, we are to welcome and care for all God’s children.
