JULY 14, 2019 15th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Figuring out how to live in faith can
sometimes create a confusion of copious
rules, regulations, practices and
prohibitions. The reality, however, is a
rather simple “heart and soul” thing. Loving
and responding to God cannot happen apart
from loving one’s neighbor with deep
compassion. Today’s Gospel reminds us
that the neighbor might not be the one we
would choose to love. The good Samaritan
story is a cautionary tale that catches our
attention for good reason.
"And who is my neighbor?" - Luke 10:29
First Reading: Deuteronomy 30:10-14 Moses’ instruction to fully live God’s commandments. Second Reading: Colossians 1:15-20
A hymn extolling faith rooted in Christ.
Gospel: Luke 10:25-37 The greatest commandment of all is compassionate love of neighbor.
