Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

The theme in the Gospel of Luke this week Lk 16:19-31, is a continuation of last week’s theme of the proper use of wealth, and the importance of the caring for the poor in the life of discipleship. In the parable in today's Gospel, Jesus contrasts the life of a rich man and the poor man, Lazarus, who lives in the shadow of the rich man and his wealth. Both die. Lazarus finds himself in heaven; the rich man in a world of torment. The rich man asks for help from Lazarus but Abraham reminds the rich man of the rich and comfortable life he had and describes the situation as a reversal of fortunes.

The rich man asks that Lazarus be sent to warn his family, but this is denied with the reminder that Moses and the prophets have warned of judgment for those who neglect the care of the poor.

Bible Study

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW JESUS?

The better we understand Jesus, the better we understand ourselves. But who was Jesus, this itinerant preacher whom many called the Messiah? In Priest, Prophet, King, you’ll discover Jesus as the Anointed One–the ultimate priest, prophet, and king foreshadowed throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. Using biblical insights and engaging stories, Bishop Barron affirms that we see Jesus most clearly through the lens of the Old Testament.  Through this deeply biblical program, you will better understand Jesus, become more familiar with Scripture, and realize your own priestly, prophetic, and kingly mission, received when you are baptized “into Christ.”

The program is 7 ​sessions beginning on Oct 4.  Tuesdays at ​either ​9:30 AM or 7:00 PM.  Click HERE for registration.  Return to box in church lobby or mail in with fee ASAP.  Contact Shannon Civetta with questions.  This email address is being protected from spambots.
