Readings: Amos 6:1a, 4-7; 1Timothy 6:11-16; Luke 16:19-31.
Selected Text: "There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day. And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores" (Luke 16: 19-21)
Meditation: The parable is a strong reminder to us that we cannot continue to dress in purple garments and dine sumptuously without the poor partaking at our table. The real challenge for us, believers, is the generosity to share our blessings with the poor. Our failure to do so is already the judgment that awaits us. The poor have a SHARE in our blessings. In fact, our generosity and capacity to share purify our wealth and make them legitimate for us to us. Beware! Visit: www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
