Today’s reading from Luke 16:19-31 is one of my favourites. It is the story of the poor man Lazarus dying and going to heaven and the rich man going to hell.
Apart from the fact that I wonder if a similar fate does not await me for not having bought all those copies of the Big Issue, I think telling phrase is at the end.

The rich man says:

‘If someone comes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

Then Abraham said to him:

‘If they will not listen to Moses or to the prophets, they will not be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’
