22nd Sunday after Pentecost

This is the Sunday of Zacheus.
The lesson here is a very clear one. The people who were successful were simply celebrating their material success. This in itself is perfectly alright. However, they should have been aware of the needs of their neighbour as well. They forgot this.
When the rich man died he wanted to help his brothers, but could not.
The lesson is, never ever forget the virtue of generosity.
Even if you are not rich, but simply middle class, remember to be generous.
Right Rev. Olexander Kenez
