Friends of the Rosary,
We read in the Gospel today (Luke 16:19-31) the story of the poor and hopeless beggar Lazarus, who is carried to paradise — to the “bosom of Abraham— and the rich man taken to the underworld.
The conversation between the rich man buried in the torment of hell and Abraham in heaven is extremely revealing. This parable, presented by Christ himself, depicts a view of the afterlife that is utterly unique in the Scriptures.
‘Father 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.’
Abraham replied, ‘My 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.’
He said, ‘Then I beg you, father, send him
to my father’s house,
for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them,
lest they too come to this place of torment.’
But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets.
Let them listen to them.’
He said, ‘Oh no, father Abraham,
but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
Then Abraham said,
‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded
if someone should rise from the dead.’
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
