Words from Canon Niall ~ Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time (28/09/2025)
This Sunday’s Gospel helps us understand what it means to love, and more than anything how to avoid certain risks. In the parable there is a rich man who does not notice Lazarus, a poor man who was ‘at his gate’ (LK 16:20).
But the Lord looks at those who are neglected and discarded by the world. Lazarus is the only one named in all of Jesus’ parables. His name means ‘God helps’. God does not forget him; he will welcome him to the banquet in his kingdom, together with Abram, in communion with all who suffer.
Have a Blessed week.
