Gospel Reflection: Lk 16:19-31
Rc Nierras Sr-B
I think the gospel is one of those stories that will be applicable for a long time because we see rich people spending money on useless things and the poor have nothing. I find it strange that people today won’t share even if there was an encyclical written it specifically said that when a man can meet the needs of his family it becomes his duty to help the poor. This gospel really hit me when the rich man asked Abraham to warn his brother and then Abraham said that if they do not believe Moses or the prophets they will not believe the person warning them. I strongly believe that we should be more careful with the things we do and be conscious on how we treat others. I think the rich man thought even if Lazarus was poor and he was rich he was still better than him, many rich people are like that they think they are better than everyone just because they have money. I believe that the rich man felt sorry when he was in hell as people say you don’t regret something till its too late. I think that the rich man’s brothers will not follow Moses or the prophets because the rich man wanted someone to warn them so I assume that the brothers are like the rich man, rich and inconsiderate. I think one challenge in the gospel is to be more aware about others and how they are for an instance if we see someone sad we should tend to them and make them better. If was Lazarus I would warn the rich man about hell and how to avoid it and if I was the rich man I will not spend my money all for myself I would give to others and to the church because God gave me this blessing and God said to share your blessings so I will share my money
