22nd SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

The parables are intended to make us think and reflect. In the one we have just heard, two people lived side by side, a rich man in his great house and a poor man at the gate of the house. Yet, there was a chasm between them; whereas the poor man looked towards the rich man for scraps, the rich man did not look towards the poor man but ignored him. The parable seems to be challenging us not to let a chasm to develop between us and those who, although physically close to us, live in a very different world to the one we inhabit.

“Mr Rich — for he is often called “Divés” (Latin for “Rich”) — lived in his own priveleged world and made no effort to care for or to understand the plight of the beggar at his gate. We can all insulate ourselves in our own little worlds. The Lord challenges us to enter the world of the other and let the other to enter our world. That, in a sense, is what Jesus himself did. He entered our world and invites us to enter his world. We can do the same for each other. When we cross the threshold into the world of the other, into the world of those who are very different from us in all kinds of ways, we may discover that we not only have something to give the other but a great deal to receive as well.
