Good Samaritan

The term Good Samaritan is almost universally known, and we hear that story in the Gospel today.  The priest and the Levite who know the law in their head, bypass the man who has been robbed. It’s the Samaritan—the enemy of the two really—who understands the law with his heart and with his hands, falls through with compassion.

As we go through this day, may we look for opportunities—maybe not as traumatic as this—but opportunities where we can read compassion with our heart and with our hands.
