Twenty-sixth
Sunday In Ordinary Time
A priest once memorably recalled how he and probably most of his generation were sent off to school, sports or socials with a good douse of holy water from the huge hallway font and the maternal greeting/warning ringing in your ears; ‘now remember who you are.’ It wasn’t really a reference to social standing. Very few in Ireland had such a luxury back then. It was more of a call to live your life worthily, with the dignity it deserved. Today, we are given a douse of Gospel water to bring us back to our senses. We need it as a lot of us do lose the run of ourselves. We seem to develop amnesia of the spirit and lose our connections with our better self, with God and with people. The rich man in God’s kingdom is the man with no name. That is because he has lost his identity. In total contrast Lazarus who is unnoticed in this world has an identity. There is no reason to believe that the rich man was a bad person either, probably so busy and harried that he just did not notice. Today, ‘remember who you are.’ Take a good look around you at who and what you need to take notice of.
