SCRIPTURE INSIGHTS WEEKDAY READINGS

Luke’s Gospel parable and the passage from Amos

vividly address the issues of just access to resources and active

concern for the needy. The rich man seems oblivious to the

suffering of Lazarus, and similarly, the prophet Amos calls the

rich “complacent” because they lack concern for others—even as

their kingdom is falling to invaders who will send the people into

exile.

The conversation between the condemned rich man and

Father Abraham is particularly intriguing —displaying the gall of

the rich man, even now wanting the humble Lazarus to do his

bidding, and Abraham’s firm insistence that the man’s brothers

will be just as deaf to Lazarus’ warnings as they have been to

Scripture. Here Luke has planted a foreshadowing of the

rejection of Christ even after his Resurrection from the dead.

Some of this story’s power comes from symbolic

language: the door of the rich man’s house, outside of which

Lazarus is lying, marks a boundary between plenty and poverty

that is similar to the boundary between the netherworld and the

bosom of Abraham. The rich man could not open his door and

there can be no passage between the saved and the damned.

Amos’ characterization of the rich through the objects they use

conveys the same message: the “beds of ivory,” and the use of

the “best oils,” suggest a lavish, carefree lifestyle.

The very sharp point of the stories is the sin of uncaring

complacency that works against justice—in spite of a long

tradition that teaches the opposite. Wealth is relative. Even those

who do not consider themselves wealthy still live in more comfort

than many others, and may also be uncaring or complacent.

Every community of faith is charged with finding ways to extend

its resources to those in need. In recent writings Pope Francis

takes up this message, calling for more energetic action for justice

motivated by mercy and compassion for the poor and

marginalized of society.

Who is “Lazarus” in our world today?

What examples of complacency do you see around you?

In what ways do you share resources with others?
