St. Paul & St. Andrew
"A Samaritan, seeing the wounded man, was moved with compassion..." Luke 10:33
Friends,
Jesus never calls the 'good' Samaritan good. That's our idea. The Samaritan in the famous story was just a person. A random person. Like me. Like you.
This Samaritan sees someone in need of help. That's important, but it's not enough. The priest and the scribe in the story also 'see' the wounded man. It's just that the Samaritan, a stranger, a foreigner, is moved to do something.
Let's pray that the Most Moved Mover continues to move each of us.
K
