Whatever our good self does, let it not be known to the bad self. ‘Do not let your left hand know what your right is doing’. The left is our opposite self which, if it gets wind of what’s happening, will ruin everything. The opposite side is our bad self. Our self in Christ is young, but our other self’s old. It’s an art to stop the old self from finding out. It’s an art and needs the Grace of God. There are a few secrets. The Gospel tells us we have to forestall certain things that hinder us in our struggle. For instance, you want to experience joy from God. What’s the secret here? You may believe in it and beg ...

In today’s Gospel reading, we hear a parable of Our Lord Jesus Christ concerning a wicked rich man and poor Lazarus. The parable teaches us that a time comes in our life when everything changes. Poor Lazarus, because he bore his poverty with patience, went to the bosom of Abraham; the wicked rich man, because he didn’t make good use of his wealth, was tortured in Hell.

In the Bible- in the Old Testament, in fact- we see a decline in the society at the time the texts refer to or were being written. This time is almost exactly the same as the one we’re living in today. Concerning the state of human affairs, we read in the Prophet Isaiah: ‘But they shall turn aside to the right, for they shall be hungry; and shall eat on the left, but shall not be satisfied They will eat the flesh of their own arm’. (9, 20, cf. Jer. 19, 9). At another point (9, 2), he refers to people walking in darkness and in the shadow of death. In other words, people are walking in darkness and the shade ...
