Stewardship Reflections 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time “My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented. Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established…” Luke 16:25-26 When God created the world He declared that it was good and He gave it to all mankind for us to enjoy. However, over the years we have created a chasm between those who have great gifts and those who do not. In today’s Gospel we see that with our own generosity we must bridge that gap between those who have much and those who have little or we may find ourselves on the wrong side of the chasm in the next life.

Cuando Dios creó el mundo Él declaró que era bueno y se lo dio a toda la humanidad para que lo disfrutáramos. Sin embargo, a lo largo de los años hemos creado una brecha entre los que tienen grandes regalos y los que no los tienen. En el Evangelio de hoy vemos que con nuestra propia generosidad debemos cerrar esa brecha entre los que tienen mucho y los que tienen poco o nos podríamos encontrar en el lado equivocado del abismo en la próxima vida.

Reflections by Father Karl 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time In today’s reading we hear the story of Lazarus and the rich man. Although we all have heard this story many times it remains an inexhaustible source for meditation and self-reflection. The story is simple: the rich man lived a life of ease and comfort and Lazarus lived in misery. The rich man saw Lazarus but never lifted a finger to help or even acknowledge his miserable plight. The rich man was able to look past and not see Lazarus as he lived in misery—this is the rich man’s sin. The lack of concern for the poor among us or the incapacity to even see the poor is a serious matter in the eyes of God. The rich man’s self-obsession controlled his life. He was one of those people that went through life thinking only of his personal wants and directing all his efforts toward getting what he wants. From his place in eternal torment the rich man is still trying to get his way—he wants Lazarus to bring him water! His self-obsession continues into eternal life. In the truest sense the rich man’s self-obsession becomes his punishment. From Hell he tries to control others but he cannot. The Gospel states that between Lazarus and the rich man in torment there is “fixed a great abyss” that no one may cross—this is why Lazarus cannot help the rich man. An abyss divides places or people but we could ask whether God could be the maker of such an abyss. It seems impossible that God could create division. Rather, the rich man has made an eternal decision to reject God and that is the source of the division. He cannot cross from one side to the other because he can no longer choose to serve God. In a similar manner Lazarus cannot cross over because he has made an eternal choice to be with God. Condemnation is not something that God imposes on us because of our sins: in truth, we choose condemnation by our actions and manner of living. Our sinfulness makes it difficult to choose good over evil and turn toward God. Furthermore, our choice for the good must be backed up by our actions. We cannot at once love and serve God while simultaneously hating our neighbor and neglecting the poor. 25° domingo del tiempo ordinario

En la lectura de hoy escuchamos la historia de Lázaro y el hombre rico. Aunque todos hemos escuchado esta historia muchas veces sigue siendo una fuente inagotable para la meditación y reflexión de sí mismo. La historia es simple: el hombre rico vivía una vida de facilidad y comodidad y Lázaro vivía en la miseria. El hombre rico vio a Lázaro, pero nunca levantó un dedo para ayudarlo, o incluso reconocer su miserable situación. El hombre rico fue capaz de ignorar a Lázaro y no ver que vivía en la miseria, este es el pecado del hombre rico. La falta de preocupación por los pobres entre nosotros, o incluso la incapacidad para ver a los pobres es un asunto serio ante los ojos de Dios. La obsesión de sí mismo controla la vida del hombre rico. Era una de esas personas que pasaron por la vida pensando sólo en sus necesidades personales y dirigir todos sus esfuerzos hacia conseguir lo que quiere. Desde su lugar en el tormento eterno el hombre rico todavía está tratando de salirse con la suya, ¡Quiere que Lázaro le traiga agua! La obsesión de sí mismo continúa en la vida eterna. El verdadero sentido del ego se convierte en el castigo del hombre rico. Desde el infierno trata de controlar a los demás, pero no puede. El Evangelio afirma que entre Lázaro y hombre rico en el tormento, existe “un gran abismo" que nadie puede cruzar-- esta es la razón por la que Lázaro no puede ayudar al hombre rico. Un abismo divide lugares o a las personas, pero podríamos preguntar si es que Dios podría ser el fabricante de ese abismo. Parece imposible que Dios pudiera crear división. Por el contrario, el hombre rico ha tomado una decisión eterna de rechazar a Dios y ese es el origen de la división. Él no puede cruzar de un lado al otro, porque ya no puede elegir el servir a Dios. De una manera similar Lázaro no puede cruzar porque ha hecho una elección eterna de estar con Dios. La condena no es algo que Dios nos impone por nuestros pecados: la verdad es, que nosotros elegimos nuestra condena por nuestras acciones y manera de vivir. Nuestro pecado hace que sea difícil elegir el bien sobre el mal y volverse hacia Dios. Además, nuestra elección por el bien debe ser respaldada por nuestras acciones. No podemos a la vez amar y servir a Dios, mientras que al mismo tiempo odiamos a nuestro vecino y descuidamos a los pobres.
