The rich man seems oblivious to the suffering of Lazarus, and similarly, the prophet Amos calls the rich complacent because they lack concern for others even as their kingdom is falling to invaders who will send the people into exile. The conversation between the condemned rich man and Father Abraham is particularly intriguing displaying the gall of the rich man, even now wanting the humble Lazarus to do his bidding, and Abraham s firm insistence that the man s brothers will be just as deaf to Lazarus warnings as they have been to Scripture. Here Luke has planted a foreshadowing of the rejection of Christ even after his Resurrection from the dead. Some of this story s power comes from symbolic language: the door of the rich man s house, outside of which Lazarus is lying, marks a boundary between plenty and poverty that is similar to the boundary between the netherworld and the bosom of Abraham. The rich man could not open his door and there can be no passage between the saved and the damned. Amos characterization of the rich through the objects they use conveys the same message: the beds of ivory, and the use of the best oils, suggest a lavish, carefree lifestyle. The very sharp point of the stories is the sin of uncaring complacency that works against justice in spite of a long tradition that teaches the opposite. Wealth is relative. Even those who do not consider themselves wealthy still live in more comfort than many others, and may also be uncaring or complacent. Every community of faith is charged with finding ways to extend its resources to those in need. In recent writings Pope Francis takes up this message, calling for more energetic action for justice motivated by mercy and compassion for the poor and marginalized of society. Who is Lazarus in our world today? What examples of complacency do you see around you? In what ways do you share resources with others?
