St.
Luke; chapter 16:19-31
In today's Gospel, Jesus talks about a rich man, who does not even notice
the very poor man, Lazarus, who lives at his gate. Lazarus dies and
goes straight to heaven. When the rich man dies, he is in agony ,begging
Abraham to ask Lazarus to help him. He is told that too great a gap
has opened between them, so he cannot be helped.
Jesus wants to point out that all people do not have the same chances
in life. We should care about those who are shut out for one reason
or another. We should notice and help.
This seems like a good time for Frankie to introduce some friends of
his. They have important things to say. |

So
perhaps we can all look out for goods - for example, coffee,tea, sugar,
biscuits, pasta, honey, fruit, chocolate -that have the label:
FAIR TRADE. |
