I was fascinated by the Gospel reading on September 26th (Luke 16:19-31; http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/luke/luke16.htm#v19) . This is a story (or is a parable?) told by Jesus about the deaths of a poor man named Lazarus and an unnamed rich man. While living, the rich man walked by Lazarus each time he entered his home, for Lazarus was lying at the door for the rich man's home. Now the rich man is in hell and the poor man in heaven (exactly what sin condemned the rich man?).
