I would like to express our thanks in advance for your financial support in caring for the mission of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary. Thank you, Fr. Al Concha Pastor GO AND DO LIKEWISE Miss Collins, the dean of students at Olympic High School, was past the point of scolding Matt, though she liked him very much. Four detentions in two weeks are too many. Still Matt wouldn t tell. It was only after Miss Collins went on a morning neighborhood patrol that she found out the real reason for Matt s tardiness. Thump, thump, thump, came the wheelchair down the stairs. It was Matt, steadying Shawnetta as he helped lower her down the stairs and then push her to the corner bus stop. She s a girl in my parish youth group, Matt explained to Miss Collins. There are many ways to describe Matt s actions a random act of kindness, making a difference one person at a time. Jesus would understand. When the lawyer correctly identified the good Samaritan as the one who had treated the injured man with compassion, Jesus said simply, Go and do likewise (Luke 10:37). Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Gospel To be a neighbor, show love by treating others with mercy, as did the Good Samaritan. (Luke 10:25-37)

DOMINGO DECIMO QUINTO "HAZ TU LO MISMO." Este es el relato ejemplar del Buen Samaritano que es Jesús! A la pregunta del doctor de la Ley: quién es mi prójimo? Jesús le responde con una parábola. Es un hombre herido y maltratado en el camino. Ni el sacerdote judío, ni el levita piadoso le atienden a este hombre pero sí un samaritano. Cuidamos del necesitado, o desvalido, o extranjero como el buen Samaritano? Estamos llamados a practicar la Misericordia!
