Faith

Luke 16:19-31

There are two persons whom Jeremiah was referring to in the first reading: the one without faith and the other with faith.  The one without faith is barren and is likened to dead land, while one with faith is likened to a rich soil.

The two characters in the gospel also typify these two sets of persons: one being the rich man who in spite of his wealth, refused to share food to Lazarus, and the poor man Lazarus, who yearned even for the crust that fell from the rich man's table.

The effect of this attitude is immediate: hell or heaven.  Let us reflect if in our case, the motivation of all our action is really to give glory to God and to have a glimpse of heaven.  If not, the opposite effect is immediate.
