Or St. Patrick's Church, Dungannon - times to be Reflection The Good Samaritan A lot can be learned about a people from the stories they tell. People who tell stories about their children are letting us know how much they mean to them, and this can be a way of remembering them with love or with worry or prayers. We know Jesus by the kind of stories he told, and the Good Samaritan was one of his best. Jesus could tell that story because the man who watched others pass by he had felt rejection and neglect himself, and like the man who had been beaten up by the thieves, he had been mistreated by people who wanted to kill him. So he knows what it’s like to be a victim of street violence, or to queue for help and be passed by, or to need any sort of sympathy and be ignored, He knew what it was like to be bullied, to be robbed, to be left alone. And he knew what it was like to be helped, as the man in the ditch was helped, and he remembered the care of Mary, his mother, and those who looked after him on his journeys, and he knew he would need help like that when he was brought to his death. And he was the type of person who also helped, whose heart was moved with compassion for the whole human race, for you and me, as was the heart of the Samaritan. Jesus, who saves and calls us into his service tells us about being the helper and the helped, from the experiences of his own life. That’s something of what Jesus was like, your friend and mine. God of heaven and God of earth. A MINUTE IN EVERY HOUR! AN HOUR IN EVERY DAY!
