☆ Gospel:Luke 16:19-31
19
Now there was a certain man of great wealth, who was dressed in fair clothing of purple and delicate linen, and was shining and glad every day.
20
And a certain poor man, named Lazarus, was stretched out at his door, full of wounds,
21
Desiring the broken bits of food which came from the table of the man of wealth; and even the dogs came and put their tongues on his wounds.
22
And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth.
23
And in hell, being in great pain, lifting up his eyes he saw Abraham, far away, and Lazarus on his breast.
24
And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame.
25
But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain.
26
And in addition, there is a deep division fixed between us and you, so that those who might go from here to you are not able to do so, and no one may come from you to us.
27
And he said, Father, it is my request that you will send him to my father's house;
28
For I have five brothers; and let him give them an account of these things, so that they may not come to this place of pain.
29
But Abraham said, They have Moses and the prophets; let them give ear to what they say.
30
And he said, No, father Abraham, but if someone went to them from the dead, their hearts would be changed.
31
And he said to him, If they will not give attention to Moses and the prophets, they will not be moved even if someone comes back from the dead.

☆ Jeremiah 17:5-10
5
This is what the Lord has said: Cursed is the man who puts his faith in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart is turned away from the Lord.
6
For he will be like the brushwood in the upland, and will not see when good comes; but his living-place will be in the dry places in the waste land, in a salt and unpeopled land.
7
A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
8
For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.
9
The heart is a twisted thing, not to be searched out by man: who is able to have knowledge of it?
10
I the Lord am the searcher of the heart, the tester of the thoughts, so that I may give to every man the reward of his ways, in keeping with the fruit of his doings.
