HELP THE POOR

The first reading of today condemns those who feel comfortable in the midst of chaos. Those who are quite happy when others are suffering. Those who wine and dine while the poor in the society are being persecuted.

The Gospel of the day narrowed it down with the story of Lazarus and the Rich man. The rich man was condemned not because he is fantastically  rich nor is it because of of his fine purple  linen clothing,feasting magnificently daily  which are all  evidence of his wealthness.
Lazarus was a poor man,a begger, a wretched and poverty stricken man,stinking and filled with sores all over his body...smelling.
Lazarus longed to fill himself with the scraps that fell from the rich man''s table...oh what a cruel world..Dogs even came and licked his sores....He was even generous enough to feed the dogs with his own sores but the rich man finds it difficult to help him even with the crumbs from his table.

Both died and Lazarus was made a rich man with the gift of Abraham''s bosom and the rich man was made a poor man with a deserving gift of hades

The question is...what is the sin of the rich man?

He committed the sin of omission,negligence
The rich man sees only himself,he was hard-hearted, myopic to the sufferings of others.He lack empathy and sympathy.There is no love in him

N/B.HE WAS A RICH MAN IN THIS TEMPORARY AND PASSING WORLD BUT BECAME A POOR MAN FOR ALL ETERNITY BECAUSE OF OMISSION AND LACK OF LOVE.
FRIENDS TURN TO GOD NOW,USE THE MATERIAL THINGS OF THIS WORLD TO WIN HEAVEN AND FRIENDS FOR YOURSELF.HELP THOSE IN NEED.
