Father John (Guita) tells and explains to us the well-known parable of the poor Lazarus. And here the most important thing is at the beginning. We know the name of Lazarus, but we do not know the name of the rich man. This is an important point they both died and so there was actually no funeral for Lazarus, but the rich man was buried with honor. But then yes, and then everything turned out to be exactly the opposite, because the rich man had already received his good during his lifetime, and Lazarus received his bad. Where else could you read this? Or they could read Dante, but here we can continue the thought in the example. The fact that indifference is actually a terrible thing, and that is what creates the same gap between people, including the rich and the poor. The most terrible thing in the parable is the words that then it will not be possible to fix anything. If a person is indifferent and hard-hearted, then even if a dead person comes to them, it will not change them. And this, by the way, literally runs like a red thread through all Christian literature. Therefore, we have many reasons to think about it. Faith in general is actually a very practical thing. This is not about theory, but about practice.
