Gregory the Great, on Luke 16:19

Gregory the Great · c. A.D. 540–604
Luke 16:19 · Douay-Rheims
“There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day.”
On this verse:
“(in Ev. Hom. 40.) Moreover the poor man saw the rich as he went forth surrounded by flatterers, while he himself lay in sickness and want, visited by no one. For that no one came to visit him, the dogs witness, who fearlessly licked his sores, for it follows, moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.”
