And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man\u2019s table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores. When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and from the netherworld, where he was in torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he cried out, \u2018Father Abraham, have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in these flames.\u2019 Abraham replied, \u2018My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented. Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established to prevent anyone from crossing who might wish to go from our side to yours or from your side to ours.\u2019 He said, \u2018Then I beg you, father, send him to my father\u2019s house, for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they too come to this place of torment.\u2019 But Abraham replied, \u2018They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.\u2019 He said, \u2018Oh no, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.\u2019 Then Abraham said, \u2018If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer: <\/strong>Lord Jesus, we know that your fervent desire for us is that we rest with you, as Lazarus did with Abraham. Help us to live each day fully aware of the great chasm that you describe between those who love you and show that love to others, and those who have chosen to reject your love. In your mercy, grant us the bounty of your eternal love. Amen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>How Stark Are the Differences: <\/strong>The images in this passage of Scripture are among the most vivid in the Bible. We can picture poor Lazarus, starving, sick, living among dogs who lick his sores, and we can picture the rich man in purple garments, living the high life and feasting every day. There can be no clearer message: The sufferings of this world can be, as they were for Lazarus, redemptive. And the material riches with which this world is so often obsessed can blind us to the sufferings of those literally on our doorsteps.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>How Brief Is the Time: <\/strong>Any graphic of comparison that we can create\u2014a pie chart, a bar graph, cylinders of beads, whatever\u2014cannot illustrate the brevity of our earthly lives against all of eternity. Even the very old among us have lived but a moment when placed next to the time our souls will spend in eternity. Jesus does not whitewash or sugarcoat his message. Every single one of us will live out our eternity on one side of the great chasm or the other. Moses and the prophets foretold it, and so did Jesus. When we fully absorb that truth, our lives change.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>How Great Are the Rewards: <\/strong>Our secular, temporal thinking leads us to consider life in increments: We hope to get a somewhat better job, find our children a little better school, move to a bigger house, trade our economy car for a fancier one. We are often rewarded when we save or study or work for our next acquisition. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that approach to the material world, but Jesus makes it clear that the next life will not shake out that way! There will be no incremental reward in Heaven, since there will be no time. Heaven will be eternal basking forever in the glory of Our Lord. Meditating on Heaven is a fruitful way to help us spend our earthly days seeking the Lord\u2019s glory in all of our thoughts, words, and actions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ: <\/strong>Lord, help me, each day, to see those who are \u201cstarving,\u201d whether they are physically hungry or suffering, or in need of compassion, understanding, or healing. Help me to remember how your love for me has fed my soul so many times, and help me bring your love to those who are suffering.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution: <\/strong>Lord, today by your grace I will live as though I fully understood your message\u2014that the rewards of this life are to be shared, that our lives here are but a moment compared to Heaven, and that my choices in this life have eternal consequences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection: <\/strong>In his <em>Introduction to Christianity, <\/em>speaking about the Last Judgment, Joseph Ratzinger summarizes the relationship between love and justice in this way: \u201c\u2026the unrighteousness of this world does not have the last word, not even by being wiped out indifferently in a universal act of grace; on the contrary, there is a last court of appeal which preserves justice, in order thus to be able to perfect love. A love that overthrew justice would create injustice, and thus cease to be anything but a caricature of love\u201d (translation J. R. Foster, Ignatius Press, 1990, p. 259).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dorothy Warner is a Washington, D.C., area writer who also works in technology and has a family.

Behind and before you encircle me and rest your hand upon me.\u201d Since Our Lord knows all of our thoughts, including those that may be keeping our heart from being pure like Nathanael\u2019s, let us do a thorough examination of conscience, looking for attachments that may be drawing us away from our all-knowing, all-loving God. Jesus is ready and waiting to purify us through the sacrament of Reconciliation.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why Do We Believe?: <\/strong>Nathanael\u2019s spontaneous burst of faith must have delighted Jesus. Jesus promised that Nathanael would \u201csee greater things than this.\u201d Nathanael\u2019s faith would need strengthening as he grew from a new convert to an Apostle martyred for his belief in Jesus. Each of us has had moments of spontaneity when faith seemed easy as we followed the Way. But, in difficult times, our faith can be tested. Why do we continue to follow Christ\u2014out of love, out of fear, out of habit?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ: <\/strong>Jesus, strengthen my faith! I want to be a diligent worker, full of faith and ready for any trial. I know my heart is not pure, but I trust in your grace to continually transform me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution: <\/strong>Lord, today by your grace I will seek rest for my heart. I will remove all distractions and focus on your word, if only for a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection: <\/strong>\u201cGod moves the human spirit to good; nevertheless, it could resist. It is God\u2019s doing, then, that a man prepares himself to receive grace.

On the way they entered a Samaritan village to prepare for his reception there, but they would not welcome him because the destination of his journey was Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this they asked, \u201cLord, do you want us to call down fire from Heaven to consume them?\u201d Jesus turned and rebuked them, and they journeyed to another village.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer: <\/strong>Lord Jesus, help me be ever aware that my life is a journey, with you by my side.

By the grace of our Baptism, he resides in our hearts. What do we do to honor that presence? What do we do to dishonor it? Notice the reason the Gospel provides for the Samaritan\u2019s rejection of Jesus: because his destination was Jerusalem, which would become the scene of his Passion and death. Is that why we sometimes shrink from welcoming Jesus\u2014because we would then have to follow him to the cross?\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>We Always Have a Choice: <\/strong>Every day, every moment, we have an opportunity to welcome the Lord into our life with love and devotion, or to turn away from him and fall into sin. The moment-by-moment decisions we make will lead us one day to eternal rest in Heaven or the horrors of Hell. Prayer and the frequent reception of the sacraments can help us both to grow in the love we need to worship the Lord daily, and help us to resist temptation and turn from sin. By the choices we make, let us show our gratitude and love for our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Justice Is in the Lord\u2019s Hands: <\/strong>He rebuked his disciples when they asked to set the unwelcoming town ablaze. He was showing us that the shortcomings of others need not concern us. Jesus will exact the perfect recompense in his own time.

In the root of the word \u201cdisciple\u201d is the word \u201cdiscipline,\u201d and this is what Jesus asks us for in this Gospel passage. He admonishes us to keep our focus on the Lord and his Kingdom. Our love for everyone else, including those in our families, schools, workplaces, and communities, should overflow from that first calling, a love that consumes our whole heart (cf. Mk 12:30).\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>What Is Meant by Rest?: <\/strong>Jesus reminds a would-be follower that \u201cthe Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head.\u201d Jesus did not mean this literally because other passages in the Gospels (cf. Lk 2:7, Mk 4:38-40) show Jesus resting or sleeping. Jesus meant that our commitment to the mission, the <em>work<\/em> he gives us, will require our undivided attention and effort every single day. If we wish to follow him, our discipleship will require detachment, focus, and discipline.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clearing the Path: <\/strong>Jesus\u2019 unnamed interlocutors, each in his own way, raised family obligations as reasons for delaying the beginning of their mission to follow the Lord. Jesus\u2019 answers indicated that those obligations do not suffice as excuses, and even can keep us from \u201cproclaiming the Kingdom.\u201d Should we shirk our duties? No. Instead, it is of primary importance that we stay close to Jesus and, through the power of the Holy Spirit, discern his will in every moment, so that when choosing between two goods, we align ourselves with what Christ is asking of us. Spiritual direction can help with this process of discernment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ: <\/strong>Lord, you desire for me to follow you.

I truly seek you, Lord. I seek to know you better, so that I can love you better, so that I can follow you better. Revive my heart, O Lord!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><strong>Some Spiritual Allies:<\/strong> Angels are purely spiritual beings. They can influence the material world and interact with it, but they are not material beings. This purely spiritual nature is symbolically represented in art by depicting them with wings. But since they are immaterial, popular culture in our secularized world doesn\u2019t pay angels much mind. They can\u2019t be studied in a laboratory. For a materialistic culture like ours, that makes them irrelevant, if not nonexistent. And yet, today Jesus speaks explicitly about angels as playing a constant and central role in our lives. Each of us has at least one guardian angel who watches over us even while staying always in God the Father\u2019s presence. All around us these unseen spiritual allies work mysteriously but tirelessly to protect and guide us as we make our way through life\u2019s difficulties and temptations. They are true persons united to us through their fidelity to God, committed to serving Christ\u2019s Kingdom and glorifying God by helping us along our Christian journey. Today of all days we should thank God for the gift of our guardian angels, and we should thank our guardian angels for being faithful to God\u2019s love instead of joining the devil and his fallen angels in their fruitless rebellion against the Lord.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Childlike Simplicity<\/strong>: Any time Jesus begins a statement with, \u201cAmen, I say to you,\u201d he is inviting us to pay special attention: He is making a solemn proclamation. In today\u2019s Gospel, this proclamation came in the wake of his disciples\u2019 squabbles about ambition and rank in Christ\u2019s Kingdom. Jesus intervened in the discussion by turning the tables. For Jesus, true greatness is found not in energetic striving to climb the ladder of success, but in humility, in childlike simplicity: \u201cUnless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven\u201d (Mt 18:3-4). How hard it is for us to release our striving! How hard it is for us to accept and enjoy what the Lord provides for us each day without needlessly fretting about things outside our control! How hard it is for us to be content with simply knowing and embracing God\u2019s will moment by moment! Instead of living in the peace of childlike trust in God\u2019s perfect providence, we doubt and worry and demand and complain and dwell in the turbulence of unnecessary anxiety. Jesus wants us to release those attitudes and lean with childlike confidence on his infinite goodness. Let us do so, following Baruch\u2019s admonition from the first reading: \u201cAs your hearts have been disposed to stray from God, so turn now ten times the more to seek him\u201d (Bar 4:28).\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learning From St. Germaine:<\/strong> A little-known saint brings together the two themes of today\u2019s liturgy: grateful faith in our guardian angels and childlike confidence in God\u2019s providence. St. Germaine of Pibrac died at the young age of twenty-two, in France in 1601. She came from a poor family and lost her mother as an infant. Her stepmother made her sleep in the barn to make room in the house for her own children, and then sent her out to work as a shepherdess when she was just nine years old. For a girl with poor health and a crippled hand, shepherding wasn\u2019t an easy job, but Germaine took advantage of it as best she could. She made a little rosary for herself out of a knotted string to help her pray while she worked, and she dedicated what little free time she had to teaching the younger children of the town their catechism. Her faith drove all she did, and her confidence in God was the anchor of her life. In fact, she was so committed to leaning on God that she never missed Mass, even if the bell for Mass rang after she was already in the fields with the sheep. On those occasions, she would leave her shepherd\u2019s crook there in the ground, charge her guardian angel with caring for the flock, and go off to worship the Lord. She never lost a sheep. When her young body was exhumed during a restoration of the local church, forty years after her death, it was found incorrupt, confirming the sanctity that had already shown itself through miracles during her teens. Perhaps we have something to learn from this peasant girl of the sixteenth century whose faith spawned a wisdom and a courage well beyond her years.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ: <\/strong>Dear Lord, you know my heart.

But we see from this passage that Jesus knew that some of those who were firsthand witnesses of those signs and wonders had chosen not to change their evil ways\u2014and Jesus knew what divine justice would be meted out to them. He warns all of us by the words of warning he spoke to them.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do We Listen?: <\/strong>Do you believe in miracles? At the core of the Christian faith, the answer to that question must be yes\u2014that we believe Jesus truly was conceived by God, born of a virgin, died on a cross, and rose from the dead. All miracles! In his brief public ministry, Jesus made the blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walk, the dead return to life, the lepers clean. If all of these things are true, then we must also believe that whatever in us is \u201cunclean\u201d can be healed and redeemed by Jesus.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do We \u201cDisagree in Spirit\u201d?: <\/strong>A great challenge for Catholics is to believe that their sins are completely forgiven in the sacrament of Reconciliation. In that miraculous encounter, if the confession is complete and sincere, the person who leaves the confessional has been forgiven, the sins wiped away. Not to believe that is to deny the power of the Lord himself\u2014to \u201creject\u201d him. Sometimes, strangely, we\u2019d prefer to keep our sins around! But, more than anything, Jesus wants us to believe in him, and in the disciples and their successors who follow him. His warnings to the unrepentant could not be clearer. But, when we listen, repent, and truly believe, we have a beautiful gift of grace waiting for us.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ: <\/strong>Lord, you know exactly which habits keep me from fully embracing your miraculous healing touch. Help me to form new habits of faith that will bring me closer to you and to the healing you know I need.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution: <\/strong>Lord, today by your grace I will grow in my awareness of the miracles recounted in the Scriptures and in the lives of the saints to enliven my faith so that I may play a part in the growth of your Kingdom on earth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection: <\/strong><em>Catechism of the Catholic Church<\/em>, 1430: Jesus\u2019 call to conversion is a conversion of the heart, not merely the outward signs (\u201csackcloth and ashes\u201d).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dorothy Warner is a Washington, D.C., area writer, who also works in technology and has a family.

Behold, I have given you the power \u2018to tread upon serpents\u2019 and scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are written in Heaven.\u201d At that very moment he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, \u201cI give you praise, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.\u201d Turning to the disciples in private he said, \u201cBlessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I say to you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer: <\/strong>Lord, help me to see with the eyes of faith. I am your true child; I run to you now with my petitions, my joys, and my sorrows, knowing that you will honor my requests, be gladdened by my delights, and console me in my troubles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Why Do We Rejoice?: <\/strong>Most of our lives are spent, in some manner, tracking our accomplishments: crossing items off our to-do lists, adding another skill to our r\u00e9sum\u00e9, putting a little more money in the bank. More selflessly, perhaps, we strive to meet a spiritual goal like going on a pilgrimage, or volunteering, or donating talent or treasure. We know it is our duty each day to choose good over evil, and we pray the Our Father and ask God to help us avoid temptation and sin. There is no harm in delighting in the good things we have done and the evils we have avoided, as long as we give God the glory. But Jesus asks that we find our deepest joy by looking forward, not back: Our hope is Heaven, and that is cause for rejoicing.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jesus\u2019 Great Gift:<\/strong> Jesus told his disciples that they were blessed to see him, listen to him, and do the same works that he did. Jesus offers himself to us completely in the Eucharist. We have all that he has. Although we don\u2019t see Jesus in person, with eyes of faith we can be as empowered as those first disciples were. It does not take great wisdom or great learning to trust in God. True wisdom is knowing the limits of our abilities and the great power of the Holy Spirit.\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Our Inner Child: <\/strong>Jesus wants us to experience the same closeness he has with his Father. The most perfect love we can know is through the relationship of the Holy Trinity, with the love between the Father and Son extending to the Holy Spirit. Small children of loving parents do not worry about where they are going or how their needs will be met; they trust fully in Mom and Dad to guide them and provide for them. That is exactly the kind of trust Jesus reminds us we should show him. How can we practice this trust? We can toss aside our \u201cgrown-up\u201d self and see ourselves like a wide-eyed, joyful child, fully ready to follow where God wants to lead.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ: <\/strong>Lord, little children presume that their needs will be met. Their trusting disposition allows them to be delighted by the simplest things. Help me to set aside my adult worries and spend that energy trusting you. With this peaceful heart, I will better hear your voice and allow you to equip me for the works you have planned for me to do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution: <\/strong>Lord, today by your grace I will focus on my spiritual growth, remembering that those most mature in faith are the most like small children: innocent, trusting, and aware of your power to heal, to forgive, and to guide us toward Heaven.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>For Further Reflection: <\/strong>\u201cYou know well enough that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do them\u201d (St. Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of Lisieux).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dorothy Warner is a Washington, D.C., area writer, who also works in technology and has a family.

Would he not rather say to him, \u2018Prepare something for me to eat. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink. You may eat and drink when I am finished\u2019? Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded? So should it be with you.

Likewise, the seed of faith may begin small, but we can cooperate with Jesus to increase our faith by ensuring that it has \u201cgood soil\u201d in which to thrive. Some of the elements that make up the good soil of our spiritual lives are prayer, the sacraments, and Scripture reading. We can grow in faith by constantly caring for our spiritual lives. We can also pray and ask Jesus, just as the Apostles did, to \u201cincrease my faith.\u201d\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trust Versus Doubt: <\/strong>When we ask God to work in our lives, we demonstrate our faith by trusting that he will answer our prayers. \u201cBut he should ask in faith, not doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed about by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord, since he is a man of two minds, unstable in all his ways\u201d (Jas 1:6-8). Our God is good, and we are called to trust in him, even when we are praying for what seems to be impossible: \u201cAll good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights\u201d (Jas 1:17).\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unprofitable Servants: <\/strong>As Christian disciples, we have an obligation to work to build up the Kingdom of God. It is our duty, not something we do to earn praise or thanks from others. Of course, when we have volunteered it is nice to be thanked, but this should not be the motivation for our service to the Lord. Our intention should be to fulfill our duty to love God above all things and love our neighbors as ourselves (cf. Mk 12:33). In this way, we will be \u201cunprofitable servants\u201d as Jesus exhorted us to be in this passage. We obtain the strength and willpower to do our duty when our goal is to love God with our whole heart. We do not serve for our own gain, but for God\u2019s glory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Jesus, I believe that all things are possible with you (cf.
