“What is written in the Law? How do you read it?”
A scholar of the law asked Jesus a question. Je-
sus does a very Jewish thing. He answered a
question with a question. He asked, “What is writ-
ten in the law? How do you read it?” Jesus knew
the scholar knew the law. The scholar responds by
quoting Deuteronomy 6:5 - You shall love the
Lord your God with your whole heart, being,
strength and mind and Leviticus 19:19—and
your neighbor as yourself. Jesus tells him to do
that and he will live. But the lawyer looks for a
loophole, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus tells the
story of the “Good Samaritan.” I have frequently
traveled the road down from Jerusalem to Jericho
in an air-conditioned bus. In the time of Jesus the
journey was on foot through baron, dry, hot hills
and valleys. Jesus uses the story to ask the lawyer
“Who was neighbor to the man set upon by rob-
bers?” The lawyer states the obvious, “The one
who showed him compassion.” That should also
be obvious to us. And the implications for how we
should treat one another should also be obvious.
Is it?

July 14 — Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Luke 10:25-37: Jesus loved to tell stories. Today we hear Jesus’ answer when the lawyer asks him what must be done to have everlasting life. Jesus tells him the story of the Good Samaritan, answering the question: Who is my neighbor — eve-ryone in need or just the people I know or the people like me?
Who are you like in the story Jesus told: the hurt one, the Levite, the priest, the Samaritan or the lawyer?
In today’s world, who are our neigh-bors?
How do we love our neighbors today? Is it possible to love God without loving
your neighbor?
Parents are the primary educators
of their children!!
