*Friends, today’s Gospel focuses on the parable of the rich man and
Lazarus. The rich man "dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined
sumptuously each day," while lying at his door was a poor man named
Lazarus, "who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from
the rich man’s table." God is not pleased with this kind of economic
inequality, and he burns with a passion to set things right. This theme
came roaring up out of the Bible and into the Christian tradition, and it
echoes up and down the centuries. Even though it makes us uncomfortable—and
God knows it does, especially those of us who live in the most affluent
society in the world—we can’t avoid it because it’s everywhere in the
Bible. St. Thomas Aquinas says, "We must distinguish between ownership and
use of private property." We have a right to ownership, through our hard
work, through our inheritance. Fair enough. But with regard to the use of
those things—how we use them, why we use them—then, says Thomas, we must
always be concerned first for the common good and not our own. This
especially includes Lazarus at our gate: those who are suffering and most
in need.*
