Why was the rich man condemned?

September 28, 2025

|

Tempo

In the gospel of this 26th Sunday, Jesus relates the parable of a rich man (Dives) and a beggar (Lazarus). They live in two different worlds.

- FR. BEL R. SAN LUIS, SVD

The rich man is "dressed in purple and fine linen"; he feasts sumptuously everyday, while Lazarus covered with sores begs, hoping to eat from the crumbs that fall from the rich man's table (read Lk 16,19-31).

Both the rich man and Lazarus have died. Their fortunes are completely reversed. Lazarus is now enjoying the higher position--he is in the "bosom of Abraham"--while the rich man is suffering in torment symbolized by the eternal torment in Hades (hell).

Note that the rich man was not punished because he was rich. What is condemned was his callousness, his insensitivity to help the needy beggar Lazarus.
