Clergy Corner

Question of the Week:

To whom can I become a neighbor? How will I follow my compassionate heart even if my head comes up with a dozen different excuses?

There would have been many reasonable excuses to hurry past a severely injured person on the crime-ridden road from Jerusalem to Jericho. The priest and Levite likely

used their need to maintain ritual purity as an excuse. Touching a corpse would have

left them unable to fulfill the duty they were undoubtedly rushing to do. Others may

have reasoned that it was the responsibility of the Roman authorities. A Samaritan could have rationalized that a kinsman of the victim should be the one to help. Certainly,

no one thought it wise to spend any more time than necessary on this dangerous

road, especially since apparently there were criminals in the area. But for this Samaritan, his heart won out over his head.
