A very well-known Gospel from the parable of the Good Samaritan (Lk 10:25-37). The parable takes place on the road between Jerusalem and Jericho. The Gospel lesson is giving us a list of the things we can do in order to get into heaven. That is what the Jewish lawyer is asking Jesus – “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”
What we can learn from this Good Samaritan as an example of loving our neighbour. Jesus teaches us the importance of caring for others. The reality is you never know how much caring can do until you do it.
The priest and Levite were both busy men, but they were too busy if they couldn’t spare the time to help a fellow traveller in need. The Samaritan gave freely his service to the wounded traveller.
We need to show our interest in our friends and neighbours and open our hearts and care for those in need. Speak a kind word to others. Bring hope to the hopeless, compassion to the crushed, and healing to the injured. Let us be kind and share the goodness to our neighbours always.
