Quote #1
“Like the good Samaritan, may we not be ashamed of touching the wounds of those who suffer, but try to heal them with concrete acts of love.” (Pope Francis)
Quote #2
“The first question which the priest and Levite asked was: ‘If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?’ But…the good Samaritan reversed the question: ‘If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?’” (Martin Luther King Jr.)
Quote #3
“We instinctively tend to limit for whom we exert ourselves. We do it for people like us, and for people whom we like. Jesus will have none of that. By depicting a Samaritan helping a Jew, Jesus could not have found a more forceful way to say that anyone at all in need – regardless of race, politics, class, and religion – is your neighbor. Not everyone is your brother and sister in faith, but everyone is your neighbor, and you must love your neighbor.” (Timothy Keller)
Peace, love, light, and joy,
