Clergy Corner

Question of the Week for May 10:

How can the kind of joy that the Holy Spirit brings enable me to endure suffering?

The parable of the Good Samaritan tells us everything we need to know about the low opinion the Jewish people of

Jesus’ day had for Samaritans. When Jesus wanted to teach them how wide the definition of neighbor is when commanding them to love their neighbor as themselves, he chose a Samaritan to illustrate his point. Philip learned the

lesson well, for soon after being chosen as a deacon he set out for Samaria to preach the Good News and heal those

who were sick in mind, body, or spirit. Not only that, the apostles Peter and John made haste to lay their hands on the

Samaritans that Philip baptized to ensure that they had received the Holy Spirit. As we will hear when we celebrate

the Ascension, Jesus commanded his disciples to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth, to all peoples everywhere. With love and the Spirit, they put Jesus’ command into action.
