Jesus Remembers the Names the World Forgets - 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus gives us the only named character in all His parables: Lazarus. The world passed him by, but God knew his name. Fr. Tom reflects on how this parable challenges us to see the people we so often overlook: the poor, the immigrant, the widow, the young person struggling with mental health, even the family member who pushes our buttons. Who is the Lazarus at your gate? And do you know their name? Because when we see Lazarus, we see Christ.
