Am 6,1-4-7
reading from the prophet Amos
Woe to the careless Sione sicurisulla to those who consider the mountain of Samaria, Lying upon beds of ivory and lying on their lambs divanimangiano greggee of calves raised in stalla.Canterellano to the sound of the harp, like David improvise on musical instruments, drinking wine in large Coppée lubricated with the finest oils, but the ruin of Joseph is not going preoccupano.Perciò hours in exile at the head of the orgy of profligate deportatie cease.

Lk 16:19-31
From the Gospel according to Luke
At that time, Jesus told the Pharisees: "There was a rich man, who wore dressed in purple and fine linen, and every day he gave lavish banquets. A poor man named Lazarus, was at his gate, covered with sores, who longed to eat what fell from the rich man's table, but they were the dogs came and licked his sores. One day the poor man died and was carried by angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. According to Hades in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. So he cried out "Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of the finger and wet my tongue, because I suffer terribly in this fire." But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in life you received your good things, and Lazarus his evil things: but now he is comforted in this way, but you're in agony. Moreover, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed so that those who want to go from here you can not, nor can there be up to us. " And he replied: "Well, father, I beg you to send Lazarus to my father's house, because I have five brothers. Admonish them severely, why not come to this place of torment. " But Abraham said, "They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them." And he replied: "No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will become." Abraham said: "If they hear not Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if one rise again from the dead."

COMMENT ON READING
Introduction. A painting carefree, but not very reassuring, which can be cured only by a "Handbook" of the Word of God proclaimed and implemented without delay.
A. A painting carefree, but not very reassuring:
"Thus says the Lord Almighty: <>. (1 st reading). This bleak picture, which depicts the prophet Amos to the society of his time (mid-century. VIII BC), without the due proportions, is the same of our society today. In fact, the revelations firmer note, are as follows:
First, those who track this carefree picture, not a sociologist, whatever, or a rod from the sacristy, but God himself. The carefree

Non pensano al bene di Giuseppe, dove al termine “Giuseppe” è da ravvisare il bene comune, volutamente ignorato, per il bene del proprio portafoglio, o della propria poltrona, se si tratta di responsabili di pubbliche istituzioni; se si tratta invece di singoli individui, questi non si curano troppo del loro bene morale e spirituale, presi come sono dalle mille sirene, e incantati dalla folta folla di pifferai magici, che calcano le scene della nostra società.
What future can have such a civilization of "Ben enjoy?". The same as the people of Israel, namely, that:
exile, understood as a total failure, or part of their personal and social life.
the end of the "Cockaigne", because of which, the vineyard of their own lives and their society is being consigned to others, but at that precise moment, gives us the prophet Amos: <> (1 st reading).
Reflection. Does reflect a dispassionate interview, granted three months before his death in June 2006 by Oriana Fallaci, a journalist friend Riccardo Nencini: <>. Prophetic words speak for themselves!
B. A therapeutic "Guide" proposto dalla Parola di Dio.
“ Carissimo, tu, uomo di Dio, fuggi queste cose ( = l’attaccamento al denaro come radice di tutti i mali 1 Tim. 6,10); tendi alla giustizia, alla pietà, alla fede, alla carità, alla pazienza, alla mitezza … irreprensibile fino alla manifestazione del Signore Nostro Gesù Cristo” (2ª lettura).Un “ Vademecum” altamente terapeutico contro la società dei buontemponi, quello che S. Paolo suggerisce al suo discepolo e vescovo Timoteo, ma, che vale anche per noi semplici cristiani. Esso infatti:
Ci richiama la nostra appartenenza a Dio: “Tu uomo di Dio”, non puoi appartenere alla terra, perché rivesti la duplice dignità di persona, che riflette l’impronta di Dio e della sua figliolanza adottiva.
Ci propone il bagaglio della:
giustizia, intesa come santità
pietà, come dialogo costante con Dio
fede, come adesione libera e gioiosa al messaggio cristiano
carità, soprattutto come esercizio di pazienza, di comprensione e di mitezza verso tutti.
Ci ricorda la venuta finale del Signore, alla quale dobbiamo tenerci sempre pronti, per il resoconto finale della nostra vita. S. Gregorio Magno ci esorta a mantenere sempre viva questa attesa vigilante. Egli infatti ci dice: <> . (Da Omelie sui Vangeli).
C. Un “Vademecum” terapeutico, efficace solo se messo in atto.
Due sono i personaggi imaginary, ideally embody well the "Handbook" proposed by the Word of God, they are: The rich man
: emblem as timely as ever "orgy of jokers" of our time. He is the ideal symbol of selfishness, of pleasure seeking and major feasts. One may say just as it says in Psalm 48: <> at which point there will be a part Lazzari able to get him out of that hell, we have tried deliberately, with his hands, on the other hand, points out Catholic playwright Georges Bernanos, with individuals like this: <> (From "Diary of a Country Priest), especially Christian.
Lazarus (which means) the poor, symbol of all members of humanity:
On a personal level living in situations of moral and spiritual poverty
In social terms, however, must settle for scraps and crumbs that fall randomly from the table of the rich and powerful.
Riflessione.Che say about the future fate of these two characters in question? In principle, save the last moment of life, freedom of everyone, the rich is reserved eternal damnation, while the poor, of course inwardly purified, it will be for the blessed happiness. Surprise, surprise: if we want to warn potential applicants from eternal damnation hardened in evil, the Lord, the mouth of Abraham tells us, that they: <> and then saved. (3 rd reading).
Conclusione.Quest 'last dire warning of the Word of God, about each of us, but on the whole mass of humanity away from God, it weighs like a huge boulder. To avoid being crushed all, there is no need to disturb the dead, the afterlife, it is sufficient that nell'aldiquà avoid "the orgy of jokers" and holy patience we walk alone in the light of the "miraculous Handbook" offered us by Word of the Lord.
