Gospel: Lk.16:19-31 Reversals, isnt it the stuff of soap operas; the loser turning winner; the oppressed nanny getting the heiress fortune. That makes the poor so fortunate, and the rich high risk; the poor favored by God and the rich only a prospective gate-crasher before Heaven. The Pope talks of an economy of exclusionMasses of people find themselves excluded and marginalized in a global economy of high-rollers and seven figure investments. A market which multiplies unemployment; even the educated become under-employed. He talks of a globalization of indifference So: Almost without being aware of it, we end up being incapable of feeling compassion at the outcry of the poor , the Dives(Rich) in us zoned in our comfort. Tap the compassion in us thats partly what Lent is about; Christ becoming poor(Lazarus) so we become rich(2Cor. 8:9)
