The Sin of Omission: The Rich Man and Lazarus | On Compassion and Justice

About this sermon

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory Forever! This powerful homily reflects on the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, reminding us that sometimes the gravest sin is not what we do wrong — but what we fail to do right. The sermon explores how modern society’s divisions between rich and poor, comfort and suffering, mirror the biblical warning of spiritual blindness caused by luxury, selfishness, and indifference. Through scripture from Amos, St. James, and the Gospel of Luke, we are reminded that sins of omission—neglecting the poor, ignoring those in need, and failing to show compassion—can cost us eternal life. Pope St. John Paul II’s wisdom also echoes throughout: when money and comfort rule our hearts, we close ourselves off from our neighbors. Let us reflect deeply: Who are the Lazaruses in our lives? What do we intend to do for them? May this message awaken our hearts to mercy, love, and true Christian action. 🕒 Timestamps 0:00 – Introduction: In the Name of the Father 0:35 – Opening Blessing and Greeting 0:43 – From East and West to North and South: A Divided World 1:19 – Nations Defined by Economy, Not Spirit 1:35 – The Rich Man and Lazarus: A Parable of Omission 2:09 – The Danger of Overindulgence and Comfort 2:21 – Prophet Amos’ Warning Against Complacency 2:49 – St. James’ Condemnation of Luxury 3:00 – Christ’s Warning: Beware of Drowsy Hearts 3:13 – The World’s Disdain for the Poor 3:25 – The Book of Sirach on the Rich and Poor 3:55 – Sin of Omission: The Root of Selfishness 4:31 – Poverty, Injustice, and the Threat of Chaos 4:37 – Parallels with the Last Judgment (Matthew 25) 5:09 – The Regret of the Rich Man: Missed Opportunities 5:36 – The Wisdom of St. John Paul II 6:02 – Who is Lazarus to Us? 6:22 – Closing Blessing and Prayer For more please visit https://www.youtube.com/@st.johnchrysostombyzantine2197 & say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #CatholicHomily #RichManAndLazarus #SinOfOmission #GospelReflection #CatholicFaith #ChristianCompassion #SundayHomily #CatholicTeaching #GospelMessage #SpiritualReflection #JohnPaulII #FaithInAction #CatholicSermon #ChristianLiving #HomilyToday 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
