I think the key to this parable is the gate. The rich man is on one side; Lazarus is on the other. In the story, the gate never opens. In fact, its role as a barrier eventually translates into an uncrossable chasm in eternity.

I am away this weekend.

In 2020, I saw the Sundance Documentary Film, “Crip Camp.” The title comes from a 1970’s summer camp for handicapped teens, which in those days were called crippled children, hence the name, "Crip Camp." (The movie is showing on Netflix.)

A few years later I visited the St. Egidio community in Rome. On Christmas morning, after the last mass, all the chairs in the church are rearranged, tables are set up, and a banquet is served to the poor in the neighborhood.

Jeremiah was thrown into a cistern, where he would have died if Ebed Meloch hadn’t pulled him out. Jeremiah’s sin was being faithful to the word of God, which left him odd man out. Four against one. Jeremiah had to be gotten rid of.

The Hebrew letter lamed is 30 and the letter vav is six; together, the two letters equal 36 – the number of the righteous in every generation whose virtue keeps the world from destruction. These 36 hidden righteous ones are called Lamed-vavniks. They live both for themselves and for others (twice chai); meeting the world’s suffering with compassion.
