The Good Samaritan's Heart


Sunday's Gospel reading tells the parable of the Good Samaritan tells of a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho along a dangerous stretch of road. It doesn't say why he was traveling there, why he was alone, or who he was to take such a risk. The parable doesn't tell much about the man except that robbers arrived on the scene, stripped him, beat him, and left him half dead on the side of the road.

We know very little about the man, but we do know a bit about those who followed behind him on the same road. First, a priest arrived on the scene. He wanted nothing to do with the man, for if the man was already dead, he would have made the priest unclean. The priest continued his walk on the opposite side of the road. A Levite came next. He too walked on the opposite side of the road, never offering help to the fallen man.
