The Parable of Lazarus reminds us that there are many men and women whose needs go unnoticed.

When the Disciples pulled in a large catch of fish their nets began to break. As we see an increasing number of Inquirers and Catechumens, their sponsors and Godparents are the net that will support them as they enter the Church.

The mercy and forgiveness that we receive form the Lord far outstrips the petty offenses we sometimes refuse to let go.
