Gospel Luke, 10:25-37

There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test him and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” He said in reply, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart,
with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
He replied to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.” But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

The light of faith and our neighbour

“The biggest disease today is not leprosy, or cancer. It’s the feeling of being uncared for or unwanted, of being deserted and alone. The greatest evil is the lack of love and charity, and an indifference toward one’s neighbour who may be the victim of poverty or disease or exploited and, at the end of his life, left at a roadside” (Mother Teresa).

As we read today’s Gospel, the parable of The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), let us reflect on what it means to be a Christian. Being made in God’s image and likeness must lead us to say, as Paul said: “I live now no longer I, but Christ lives in me” (Gal 2:20). If Christ truly lives in us we would not pass on the other side and leave the poor, the vulnerable, and the socially excluded to fend for themselves.

Gospel Luke, 10:1-12, 17-20

At that time the Lord appointed seventy-two others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’ If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for you.’

When I was in Madrid recently, attending the 5^th World Congress against the Death Penalty, I arranged to meet a friend who supported me years ago in my work as Vice-Chair of the late Cardinal Hume’s Committee for the Caribbean Community. The Cardinal was the Chair. As my friend and I chatted, she informed me that she has drifted away from her faith.
