In the First Reading, Moses challenges his people to heed the Lord’s voice by keeping the Commandments. Their familiarity with the law is such that they can recite it with their mouths and are aware of it in their hearts. However, more is required: they need to carry it out in their actions. The Gospel reading also gives attention to the carrying out of the Law. A scholar of the Law asks Jesus, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus elicits from him the essence of the Commandments, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart … and your neighbor as yourself.” Demanding more precision, the lawyer asks, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus answers with the story of the Good Samaritan. In this parable, a Samaritan cares for a man who has been left for dead after a priest and Levite pass by the man. The Samaritan tends the man’s wounds, finds lodging for him, and pays for it. With this act of compassion, the Samaritan loves the stranger as his neighbor. Jesus concludes his story by asking the lawyer, “Which of these three (the priest, the Levite, and the Samaritan) in your opinion was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” Now, Jesus’ question to the lawyer draws attention to the fact that the Samaritan is the true neighbor! This poses a problem for the lawyer because Jews considered Samaritans as enemies. The lawyer finds it difficult to answer Jesus’ question. He cannot say, “The Samaritan!” Instead he answers, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus leaves him and us with the challenge, “Go and do likewise.” Does the Gospel parable challenge how you mete out

mercy? How is the parable a challenge to every form of prejudice? How does the parable change your understanding of

obeying the commandments?
