[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Gospel meditation (Bp.Barron)

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, our Gospel today is one of the best-known of Jesus’ parables, *the
story of the Good Samaritan. Every story, parable, illustration, and
exhortation is, at the end of the day, a picture of the Lord.*

*In one of the great windows of Chartres Cathedral there is an intertwining
of two stories, the account of the fall of mankind and the parable of the
Good Samaritan.* This reflects a connection that was made by the Church
Fathers. *The Good Samaritan is a symbol of Jesus himself, in his role as
Savior of the world.*

*Now our task is to be other Christs*. *“Which of these three, in your
opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” “The one who treated him
with mercy.” Jesus says to him, “Go and do likewise.”*

We spend our lives *now look*ing *for those people stranded by the road,
victimized by sin*. We *don’t walk by, indifferent to* *them*, *but rather*
we *do what Jesus did—even for those who are our natural enemies, even for
those who frighten us.* *And *we *bring the Church’s power to bear, pouring
in the oil and wine of compassion, communicating the power of Christ’s
cross.*


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
