BE LIKE THE SAMARITAN
The parable in today's Gospel is one of the best
known of all the teachings of Jesus. The term "Good Samari-
tan" has been used to name various charitable organizations
and is even the official name of one state's emergency road-
side assistance program that helps stranded motorists. With
the prevalence of the terminology used to describe various
activities in our day, we might be led to forget the message
of this Gospel passage. This man, this Samaritan, was the
only one who offered the beaten man help. Samaritans, re-
member, were considered the lowest of the low in the time
of Christ. A good Jewish person would not even have gone
near a Samaritan for fear of being rendered impure. The Sa-
maritan was motivated solely by the sense that the poor man
needed help. He didn't care about religious or social status.
And Jesus' message is that we are to do the same.
