Luis Tanjuatco's Best Work: Rich Man and Lazarus SUNDAY GOSPEL REFLECTION

SUNDAY GOSPEL REFLECTION #2 (Sept. 26, 2010)
Luis Tanjuatco (Sr – D)

The gospel last Sunday talked about a man named Lazarus and this rich man. Lazarus waited outside the rich man’s house just so that he can get little food but the rich man didn’t give anything to Lazarus. Lazarus died and went to heaven while the rich man went hell. The rich man asked Abraham to tell his brothers about hell and that they should not do what he did. Abraham then told the rich man that his brothers had Moses and the prophets to tell them what they should do.
This gospel talks about everyone. We should not be too materialistic in our lives and that we should share what we have to others especially the poor. All the money and things that we have here on earth won’t go with us when we die. Everyone should be thankful for all the blessings and things that God has given to them. All should share what they have to others. Even the smallest objects can help others. Food, shelter, clothing, etc. can help improve the life of others and yourself.
When we enter heaven, all of the material things that we have won’t go with us. God will not accept who we are just because of our material things, but what we have done on earth. Helping the poor is one of the biggest things that God sees in a person. We should all be thankful with what we have and that we should share the things we own.
