Description | "If there is a poor man among your brothers... do not be har dhearted or tightfisted toward him." ~ Deuteronomy 15:7 Th e parable of the rich man and the poor man (Luke 16:19-31) inspired the sti rring homily of Pope John Paul II at Yankee Stadium in 1979. He said, "We cannot stand idly by, enjoying our own riches and freedom if, in any plac e, the Lazarus of the 20th century stands at our doors... The rich man and the Lazarus are both human beings, both of them equally created in the im age and likeness of God, both of them equally redeemed by Christ." ~ Mark Link, S.J. What caused the rich man to be condemned? How have your values changed since you became a Knight? How do you think God might want t hem to change some more? "The poor of the United States and of th e world are your brothers and sisters in Christ. You must never be content to leave them just the crumbs of the feast. You must give your substance, and not just of your abundance." ~ Pope John Paul II |
