This week's Gospel is the very familiar story of the good Samaritan. Jesus used this story to answer the question a lawyer posed to him on what he should do to inherit eternal life. The lawyer knows that the law could be summerized as love God and love your neighbor. The challenge Jesus posed to him and to us is "Do this! and you will live". If we are honest with ourselves, we know that we often set limits/boundaries on whom we choose to love. It is impossible by our own means to love just about anyone, including people we find objectionable, and be moved to compassion by the person's needs alone, like how the good Samaritan did. It is no wonder that the law places loving God with all our heart, soul , strength and mind before that. What we can't do ourselves, in God, we can.
God Bless,
Maria
