Jesus replied, 'This is the first: Listen, Israel,

the Lord our God is the one, only Lord,
30 and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your
strength.
31 The second is this: You must love your neighbor as
yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.'

Mark 12: 29-31

25 And

now a lawyer stood up and, to test him, asked, 'Master, what must I
do to inherit eternal life?'
26 He said to him, 'What is written in the Law? What is your reading of it?'
27 He replied, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all
your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your
neighbour as yourself.'
28 Jesus said to him, 'You have answered right, do this and life is yours.'
29 But the man was anxious to justify himself and said to Jesus, 'And who is
my neighbour?'
30 In answer Jesus said, 'A man was once on his way down
from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of bandits; they stripped
him, beat him and then made off, leaving him half dead.
31 Now a priest happened to be travelling down the same road, but when he
saw the man, he passed by on the other side.

Word of lord
Luke 10:25-37

32

In the same way a Levite who came to the place saw him, and passed
by on the other side.
33 But a Samaritan traveler who came on him was moved with
compassion when he saw him.
34 He went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on
them. He then lifted him onto his own mount and took him to an inn and
looked after him.
35 Next day, he took out two denarii and handed them to the innkeeper
and said, "Look after him, and on my way back I will make good any
extra expense you have."
36 Which of these three, do you think, proved himself a neighbour to
the man who fell into the bandits' hands?'
37 He replied, 'The one who showed pity towards him.' Jesus said to
him, 'Go, and do the same yourself.'

parable ?

?

Discussion

 We must help someone in trouble even when he or she

has bought the trouble on him or herself
Any person regardless of the ethnics, cultures, religion ,
gender or social standing, who is in need is our neighbor
The help we give must be practical and not merely
consist of in feeling sorry for the person

Jesus teaching

Apathy means without feeling

How do you feel when people ignore you?

4 Love

is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not

boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not
self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of
wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the
truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7New
International Version

"Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
Where there is discort, unity;

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life

Prayer of St Francis
