          SOME THOUGHTS ON TODAY'S GOSPEL                   

This parable is one of the most well-known parables in the bible. The clear message is that regardless of what culture or religion we’re from, we should be willing to help people in need, even if they’re different from us. It’s a story about what obedience to God looks like and what the ultimate goal of our religious lives is. The parable also states that even though some people are different from us, by their religion, culture, beliefs, nationality, behavior, etc., they are still our neighbors so we should love them the way we love ourselves. We should help each other even though we are not the same. Our neighbors are the ones who help us through anything, they will be the ones pulling you up when you are down, the ones making you feel good about yourself. What have we done so far?

His word is not foreign to us.

 

                              RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 19                                

(Word of Life)

“Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.”

 

2nd READING COLOSSIANS 1:15-20

(The Primacy of Christ)

The glory of Christ is proclaimed for all to know.

 

THE GOSPEL OF LUKE 10:25-37

speak to God. During Mass, let God speak to you. After Mass, speak to one another.
