Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

The prophet Amos challenges us to see the suffering around us and respond. He goes on to imply further that indifference to others' suffering is a moral failure. Our Gospel presents the reality of Amos' preaching via the telling of the story of the rich man and Lazarus. Notice both the rich man and Lazarus' eternal destinies are reversed: the rich man had a name in society but now nameless in the afterlife. Lazarus who had no voice on earth now known by name in heaven.
