Among the frightening things said by Christian leaders in the USA following the bombing of the World Trade Centre was that ‘God turned away from America because we have turned away from God’ and that ‘God sent these acts as a wake-up call for us to live righteous lives and return to Him.’ One went as far as to confidently assert that, ‘September 11 tells us we are living in end times.’

Today's Gospel focuses on those nagging questions that plague us all from time to time. What will heaven be like? What will happen to me in the resurrection of the body? While these are interesting enough questions on which to speculate and pray, this story from Dan McAuley reminds us that resurrection and a taste of heaven are often closer than we think.

Philip was getting ready to graduate from university. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him he wanted this car as a graduation gift from the family. His father did nothing. As his graduation day approached, Philip awaited signs that his father had purchased the car.

A well-known multi-millionaire once had a near fatal heart attack. After he recovered he was invited to appear on a national television chat show to reflect on the experience. At one stage the interviewer asked him, ‘Did you have a near-death experience after your heart attack?’ The multi-millionaire pulled himself up to his full height and exclaimed, ‘I was clinically dead. I went to the other side, and I am here to tell you there’s nothing there!’ In his case, of course, there might not be anything there, but his response reminds me of the Pharisee in today’s Gospel.

Many years ago I remember hearing the story of a charismatic prayer meeting which went all night. Apparently the leader was convinced that, ‘God wants to do a strong and powerful work here tonight and we have to show we are worthy.’ So he insisted that everyone stay until it happened. By dawn nothing had overtly occurred, so the leader declared, ‘God has worked hundreds of miracles here tonight – on the inside.’ He may have been right, but it sounded like mystical spin doctoring to me! What worries me about his story is that it can portray God as a remote and severe figure whom we need to convince that we are serious about him before he will be moved by our plight.

There was once a parish priest who, with the passing of the years, had become a very difficult pastor. The president of the parish council decided to write to the Bishop and ask for the priest's removal. The Bishop reluctantly agreed, but insisted that the parish council arrange for a good farewell for the departing priest, one with a strong spiritual motif. The council agreed. They planned an elegant farewell that would begin with the singing of a hymn.

Over this weekend, we are celebrating the gift that St Francis of Assisi has been to the world and to us in particular in this parish that has been under the care of the Franciscan Friars and Sisters for the past 90 years. St Francis of Assisi is without doubt one of the great figures of our Catholic family, but more than that, he has been a model for the world since even those who have had little or nothing to do with the Christian faith seem to have found in him a source of inspiration and challenge.

Maybe the reason this Gospel-story has become so famous is its extraordinary attention to detail; the regal colours of Dives' clothes, his exquisite tableware and fine dining. It all conjures up a vivid picture. At the same time Lazarus' world is equally well described. Begging at the gate, Lazarus' only companions are the dogs and his sores. Even giving names to both these characters adds to the power of the parable. These people are not just a rich man and a beggar. They are Dives and Lazarus, well-known to everyone in the village. All these years later they are well known to us too. Not the actual characters, of course, upon whom the story could be based, but all the Lazarus' and Dives' in our own villages. It is an important task for us to decide which one of these characters we think we are.

A farmer named Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside except for a pet dog he doted on. The dog finally died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest, saying, ‘Father, the dog is dead. Could you possibly be saying a mass for the poor creature?’ Father Kelly refused point blank, ‘No, we can't have services for an animal in the church, but I'll tell you what, there's a new denomination down the road, and there is no telling what they believe in, maybe they'll do something for the animal.’ Muldoon said, ‘I'll go right now. By the way, do you think 10,000 pounds is enough to donate for the service?’ to which Father replied, ‘Now why didn't you tell me the dog was a Catholic!’

A bishop in a rural diocese was explaining to the confirmation class how he was the shepherd of the flock. Given that many of the children came from large sheep farms he decided to draw on today’s Gospel as an analogy for his pastoral leadership. ‘I care for all of you like the Good Shepherd,’ he said. The students seemed consoled. Warming up, the bishop continued, ‘For instance, what would your fathers do if he lost one of his sheep?’ The class was silent. The bishop asked again. The students were confused. The bishop got personal, ‘Michael what would your Dad do?’ ‘Seeing we’ve 42,000 of them, bishop, he’d let the stupid blighter go!’

For some weeks now Luke has been telling us about the cost of discipleship. As a commentary on what was happening in his community and a preparation for what was to come, today's gospel used the hyperbole of hatred to drive home the point. For the earliest Christians a choice for faith in Jesus could be this stark and dramatic: families split up and sometimes people who had loved each other turned their brother or sister, mother or father over to martyrdom. This is the context in which Luke's community produced this Gospel.

One of the most basic human responses to anything new is to ask, ‘What's in it for me?’ We would like to think our motives are pure and our interests are for others, but there is often a nagging voice reminding us that selfish desires are never far from the surface. That said, we all know heroic individuals who care for sick spouses or children, who go to faraway places to give those in need their time and talent or who stay at home and do the same in their local neighbourhood.

In our desire to affirm that the scriptures are inspired, it can be easy to forget that they come out of the lived experience of a community of faith. Indeed, one of the things that is wonderful about our belief in God's revelation is that it occurs within human experience. Today's Gospel is an excellent example. Jesus predicts that one of the consequences of believing in him is that divisions will follow.

In his Spiritual Exercises, St Ignatius Loyola says that pride, riches and power are the three most seductive and destructive temptations in the world. So many conflicts, and their continuance, can be traced to the interplay of this unholy trinity. The so-called reality TV show, Big Brother and its many imitators demonstrate just how far some of our compatriots will go to be famous, to be wealthy or to have a certain clout in the popular imagination.

Did you know that Lincoln's Gettysburg address was 250 words long? The man before Lincoln spoke for over an hour. The man who followed Lincoln spoke for even longer. No one remembers today what they said. Lincoln's two and a half minutes, by contrast, changed the USA's history and the mentality of the western world.
