In today’s Gospel we are reminded
of the form God’s justice will take – each of us will be held accountable for
the things we have done and that we have failed to do, the manner in which we
have loved others or failed to do so. It really is that simple.
Stop acting like
others are there to serve us; serve others first. There are Lazarus’ all
around us - most of the time we either don’t see them or consciously chose to
ignore them.
If we don’t open our eyes
and lend a helping hand now, we will be in the same plight as the rich man in
today’s Gospel. When we know the truth and fail to act on it, we condemn
ourselves to eternal punishment. Is it time to change the way we live?
