Gregory the Great, on Luke 16:27

“And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren,”

“(Hom. 40. in Ev.) When the rich man in flames found that all hope was taken away from him, his mind turns to those relations whom he had left behind, as it is said, Then said he, I pray thee therefore, father Abraham, to send him to my father’s house.”
