Jer. 17, 5-10;
Sal 1;
Lc. 16, 19-31
what or whom we place our trust and our hope? Will we be like a tree planted near the canal that bears fruit in season and their leaves do not wilt or be like shrub in the desert living in the arid desert, salt, inhospitable land?
Who do we put our trust and hope?, Ask again. Just trust in ourselves, in our forces or our abilities, our knowledge or our man power, our wealth or our material possessions, or above all that we put our trust in the Lord?
is what the prophet presents us with what we have prayed in Psalm, and what we want to reflect Jesus in the Gospel. At the bottom of it all is a sense of life and discover the value they have to have things for us. Is in some ways if we live only for ourselves or we believe that the more beautiful life is when we open ourselves to God and open ourselves to others, or enter into a relationship of true love.
The parable of the gospel we have thought many times. To hear probably always feel disgust for the attitude of the rich man who thought of nothing but himself and had no eyes to see beyond what were their interests or desires to have fun. 'A rich man who dressed in purple and feasted splendidly every day. " Tan locked itself was not falling into the account of who was at his door in most of the miseries 'covered with sores and wanting to be fed with what they pulled the rich man's table, but nobody was '. It was like an invisible man selfish eyes are not able to see.
This we have been commenting here and could give us for many ideas and many questions within. Do not wear purple or sidewalks every day, but could happen to us yet we lived so locked in ourselves, for better or for worse we have or we can pass, we do not have eyes to see what is around us. Or maybe we do not see the beautiful things that God puts on our side in good hearts that are given and worn by others, or not see the suffering, loneliness or anxiety for which many may think may be happening and that our suffering is the worst.
But the parable means to tell us more. We can not in the brevity of this reflection cover them all. He speaks of death and the afterlife, talks of the prize for good or for the trust you have placed in God or see us away from God forever as a result of a life where we dispensed with God because maybe we became gods ourselves. It is the fate of the poor in Abraham's bosom and the rich in the depth of the abyss in their punishment.
Briefly let us highlight other things. 'Please, tells the rich, send Lazarus to my father for I have five brothers so that their testimony you avoid coming to this place of torment. " And hear the answer of Abraham: 'They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear ... because if not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not or even resurrects a dead man. "
We have the Word of God as our constant call to conversion inviting life, and now in more intense this time we are listening. However, it seems that men give more importance to miracles or extraordinary things - it seems that is what we are waiting forever - that God's Word directs us everyday. Hear the Word of God, and in light of the Word of God we are able to read our life with a new vision, that we feel encouraged to conversion and love.
That ditch - employ the image of the psalm - the Word of God continually watered our lives. could sink our roots in it to really come to bear fruit for eternal life.
