SHEPHERD’S CORNER
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
The Gospel story today is a simple story about
two people. The one is a poor man named
Lazarus, who is in dire need. The other is a rich
man, in a position to help Lazarus in his need.
The needs of the poor man are small, and it
would take very little for the rich man to help
him. Unfortunately, the rich man never got
around to helping Lazarus.
The sin for which the rich man suffers after he
dies is not that he ordered Lazarus off his
property. It is not that he kicked him each time
he passed him. It is not that he yelled at him
whenever he saw him.
The sin for which the rich man suffers is simply
that he paid no attention to Lazarus. The sin is
not a sin of commission but a sin of omission,
not doing something he should have done to help
Lazarus.
Each one of us sees the story of Lazarus being
repeated every day in our society. And each one
of us is concerned about what this is saying
about our society. And we have a growing
tendency to place our priorities on things rather
than on people, especially needy people.
Instead of closing our eyes to the situation or
cursing the darkness caused by the situation, we
can light a candle or even be that candle and
become part of the solution and not the problem.
Your brother in Christ,
Deacon Henry
