Ignoring the Poor
Many people profess faith, but conduct their daily lives as if the Almighty Dollar was the only thing that mattered. Some preachers encourage that view: “Jesus came to save you from sin and give you the goodies of life.” Some public figures go so far as to condemn any notion of social justice: “I've got mine, too bad for you; God wants you to go get your own.” Ignoring the poor, whether out of the blindness that comes from greed or from some ideological dogma about self-reliance, does not address the problem of poverty or the need for Christians to reach out to the needy.

apostolic-times.com continues with context for the season's readings. In 1 Timothy 2, the author encouraged moral living as a Christian. In Luke 16, Jesus told the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man.
Who hasn’t heard your message? How can you still reach out to them? These questions are addressed in the Gospel Story "Unheard Words." This is a three minute video with a short story of a life situation, a moral from the gospel and a reflection question.
