Second Collection $621.00 Dear Parishioners and Visitors,
Luke introduces the parable of the Good Samaritan with a story found in Matthew and Mark, namely a scholar of the law correctly summing up the law as loving God and loving one’s neighbor. In the other gospels, the story effectively ends and another teaching is introduced. But Luke tells us that the scholar wanted “to justify himself” and so to clarify who is his neighbor. Rather than answer straightforwardly, Jesus poses a story with which we are familiar. The priest and the Levite, both upright privileged people considered fa- vored by God, leave the unfortunate man in the ditch. Only the Samaritan, one of a group of people generally despised by many Jewish people of the time, offered any assistance. And it was no mere prayer or well wish. He went out of his way, cared for the victim, band- aged him, carried him, and paid for his stay at the equivalent of a hotel. With that, Jesus asks the scholar which of the three was the neighbor to the man in the ditch? The scholar of the law in reply does not even use the word Samaritan, but says, “The one who treated him with mercy.”
Though the question is about “neighbor,” mercy is the keyword in this gospel. The scholar was likely predisposed to believe that the priest or the Levite would be a neighbor, by acting mercifully. But it was the person the scholar did not expect who acted in that way.
When the scholar asks, “And who is my neighbor?” the answer could rightfully be said, “The one who treated him with mercy.” When one is in the ditch needing help, who is neighbor? More important than role or station, privilege or power, is the capacity and the willingness to be merciful and to receive mercy. Without mercy, the person in the ditch dies. One reading of Jesus’ story might be that we are the person in the ditch. We should be open to receive acts of mercy no matter where they come from, or who performs them. Those who act in this way are neighbor, much more so than those we might otherwise ex- pect. As Jesus continues to do, he creates upheaval in our worldview by a simple story that causes us to reconsider our priorities and prejudices.
