Lazarus and the rich man

Hear an audio sermon by Fr Robert Barron on the Word on Fire website. This is based on Luke 16:19-31, the Gospel for Sunday, 29 September 2013. I like the shift in perspective in how we can view riches. Old school thought tended to think that rich is not good and that it is a blessing to be poor. However, if stewardship of God’s gifts is understood in the correct perspective, Fr Barron suggested that the rich could ask, “Why does God allow me all this wealth?” Fr Barron further suggested that perhaps God sent the poor to a rich man’s turf so that the rich man may have an opportunity to break free out of hell. Hmmm… interesting perspective that is freeing. Enjoy.
