Entrance Antiphon All that you have done to us, O Lord, you have done with true judgement, for we have sinned against you and not obeyed your commandments. But give glory to your name and deal with us according to the bounty of your mercy.
Responsorial Psalm Psalm 146
My soul, give praise to the Lord!
It is the Lord who preserves fidelity forever, who does justice to those who are oppressed. It is he who gives bread to the hungry, the Lord who sets prisoners free.
It is the Lord who opens the eyes of the blind, the Lord who raises up those who are bowed down. It is the Lord who loves the just, the Lord who protects the stranger.
The Lord upholds the orphan and the widow, but thwarts the path of the wicked. The Lord will reign forever, the God of Sion from age to age.
My soul, give praise to the Lord!
Gospel Acclamation
Alleluia, Alleluia.
Though Jesus Christ was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty
you might become rich. Alleluia.
Communion Antiphon Remember your word to your servant, O Lord, by which you have given me hope. This is my comfort when I am brought low.

Twenty-Sixth Sunday of the Year Year C 29th September 2019 Sarah Adams Commentary
Gospel (Lk 16: 19-31) Many scholars believe that this story depends on a Jewish folk tale with roots in Egypt: the popular mind can relate to its stereotyped characters – rich man, poor man, and Father Abraham. It is rich in its imagery and in its telling. The rich man is described in detail. Only the wealthy could afford purple dye, signifying their status: it was often associated with kings and emperors. In addition, the rich man feasts sumptuously. Lazarus, by contrast, is forced into begging from the dogs. His ulcerated sores suggest that he is sick. The ‘crumbs’ falling from the rich man’s table were probably large pieces of bread that guests would have dipped in a dish, wiped their hands on and then tossed under the table. The dogs were not kept as pets but were wild dogs, scavenging aggressively. Lazarus’ life is one of absolute misery. When the rich man and Lazarus die their fortunes are reversed. We should not assume that Lazarus is now reaping riches because he had none on earth or that the rich man is suffering because he had so much on earth. Jesus suggests that the rich man failed to share his wealth and ignored the needy, so he suffers now. Lazarus’ name – ‘He (whom) God helps’ – hints at his piety. The reference to rising from the dead makes a strange ending to the story. Does Jesus make this reference to his own resurrection because Luke’s own readers will be aware of how there were those, including some Pharisees, who could not accept that Jesus had risen from the dead?
