Points to Ponder

When individuals or groups are in conflict, it can be difficult for the conflicting parties to see any good in each other. In times of war, in particular, the warring parties often demonise each other. In the case of the current Israeli Palestinian conflict, for example, it is probably very difficult for many Palestinians to bring together the noun ‘Jew’ and the adjective ‘good’, and equally difficult for many Jews to associate the noun ‘Palestinian’ with the adjective ‘good’. A pastor working in the Middle East confessed that never once was he even tempted to tell Palestinians a story about a noble Israeli. However, Jesus does the equivalent of that in today’s gospel reading. We have become used to referring to the story Jesus tells as the parable of the good Samaritan. We can forget that in the Jewish world of Jesus the words ‘good’ and ‘Samaritan’ would never have been found together. We all have the potential to make tangible God’s compassionate presence to others. The first step in doing that is to notice. It is first said of the Samaritan that he saw the traveller, he noticed him. Noticing is a small but very significant first step. Yet, it is not enough. The priest and the Levite also noticed, they too saw. What distinguished the Samaritan from them was that he allowed himself to be deeply moved by what he saw. Compassion involves that deep inner movement which comes from allowing ourselves to experience something of the pain of the other. Fr Martin Hogan

Thoughts of the Day

God has compassion on us. In the gestures and deeds of the Good Samaritan we recognise the merciful acts of God in all of salvation history. It is the same compassion with which the Lord comes to meet each one of us: He does not ignore us, he knows our pain, he knows how much we need help and comfort. He comes close and never abandons us. Each of us, ask and answer the question in our heart: ‘Do I believe? Do I believe that the Lord has compassion on me, just as I am, a sinner, with many problems and many issues?’ Think about that and the answer is: ‘Yes!’ 

The late Pope Francis
