SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - 26th Sunday
DESCRIPTION:THE HOSPITALITY OF ABRAHAM \nFrom a commentary by St John Chrysostom \n◊◊◊ \nIt is worthwhile inquiring why the rich man saw Lazarus in Abraham’s \narms\, and not in the company of some other righteous person. The reason is \nthat Abraham was hospitable\, and so the sight of Lazarus with Abraham was \nmeant to reproach the rich man for his own in hospitality. Abraham used to \npursue even passers-by and drag them into his home\, whereas the rich man \ndisregarded someone lying in his own doorway. Although he had within his \ngrasp so great a treasure\, such an opportunity to win salvation\, he ignored the \npoor man day after day. He could have helped him but he failed to do so. \nThe patriarch was not like that but just the opposite. He would sit in his \ndoorway and catch all who passed by. And just as a fisherman casting a net into \nthe sea hauls up fish\, yes\, but also quite often gold and pearls\, so Abraham while \ncatching people in his net finished by catching angels\, though strangely enough \nwithout knowing it. \nEven Paul marvels at this and gives the advice: Remember to welcome \nstrangers into your homes\, for some by doing so have entertained angels \nwithout knowing it. And he did well to say without knowing it\, for if Abraham \nhad welcomed his guests with such kindness because he knew who they were he \nwould have done nothing remarkable. He is praiseworthy only because\, without \nknowing who the passers-by were and taking them to be simply human \nwayfarers\, he yet invited them in with such good will. \nAnd this is true of you also. If you show much eagerness in welcoming \nsome famous and distinguished person you do nothing remarkable; often the \nhigh rank of a guest compels even a reluctant host to show every sign of \ncourtesy. But we do something truly great and admirable when we give a most \ncourteous welcome to all\, even the outcasts of society or people of humble \ncondition. Hence Christ himself praised those who so acted\, declaring: \nWhatever you did for one of these very poor people you did to me. He also said: \nIt is not your Father’s will that one of these little ones should perish. Indeed \nthroughout the gospel Christ speaks a great deal about the little people and \nthose of the humblest condition. \nAnd so Abraham also\, knowing this\, did not ask who travelers were or \nwhere they come from\, as we do today\, but simply welcomed them all. Anyone \nwishing to show kindness should not inquire into other people’s lives\, but has \nonly to alleviate their poverty and supply their needs\, as Christ commanded \nwhen he said: Imitate your Father in heaven\, who makes his sun to rise on good \nand bad alike\, and sends rain on the just and unjust.
