Fr. Michael writes: The parable Christ tells of the Good Samaritan in today’s Gospel is more relevant today than ever before. How many people today lie wounded by the roadside of life? Their wounds are not always visible. Many of today’s deepest wounds are invisible. They are not physical and do not therefore show up on the outside. People can be wounded in spirit. Perhaps there are such people around me today. There are so many people forgotten, all waiting, may be not having the courage to call out, waiting for the coming of a
Good Samaritan. The question for us is:- “Is my heart ready and big enough to embrace even some of these?”
