What was supposed to be a triumphant border crossing and final push from Niagara Falls back to the starting point became something entirely different when family health concerns required an immediate pivot. But sometimes the best laid plans need to be set aside for what actually matters, and day six became about completing the ride in the way it was always meant to end - with a proper beginning and a proper finish, both by bike, both connected to the places and people that made this whole adventure meaningful in the first place.

Everyone knows the story of the Good Samaritan. It shows how we need to be more compassionate to those around us, loving others in tangible ways, even across social and religious barriers.

In this week's message, Pastor Marcus explores Jesus' most famous parable—the Good Samaritan—and challenges us to rethink what it truly means to be a neighbor. More than proximity or convenience, being a neighbor means showing sacrificial mercy that moves from our heads and hearts to our hands.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this week's message at Flourishing Grace, Brett Turner, our Minister of Music and Prayer, shares a powerful and deeply personal sermon from Luke 10:38–42—the story of Mary and Martha. Rather than interpreting the text as a mere contrast between two personalities, Brett invites us to consider a more foundational question: are we choosing the good portion? In a culture that celebrates productivity and constant motion, this passage disrupts our assumptions by revealing a greater truth—there is only one thing that is necessary, and it cannot be taken away. Preaching between the parable of the Good Samaritan and the Lord's Prayer, Brett highlights the intentional placement of this short but rich story in Luke's Gospel. Mary's decision to sit at the feet of Jesus is not laziness or passivity, but a bold act of reception—a choice to receive her spiritual inheritance. Meanwhile, Martha, though serving Jesus directly, is burdened by anxiety and distracted by many good but lesser things. Through this contrast, the sermon points us to a life not defined by striving, but by sitting with Christ and receiving what He alone can give. Brett challenges the listener to consider how often we, like Martha, invite Jesus into our lives yet fail to welcome Him into our hearts. Even in ministry, service, parenting, and relationships, we can find ourselves empty and anxious when we work from our own limited resources rather than from the immeasurable riches of God's grace. Drawing on Ephesians 1–2, Brett reminds us that every believer in Christ has already been seated with Him in the heavenly places and granted a spiritual inheritance that changes everything. This inheritance—our “portion”—cannot be earned, bought, or lost. It must simply be received. As the sermon unfolds, Brett reflects on the deeper implications of inheritance language in Scripture and shares a vision for a life that flows from identity in Christ rather than striving for it. Whether we are in a season of burnout, bitterness, distraction, or doubt, the invitation is the same: come sit with Jesus. When we start there, our serving becomes joyful, our burdens become lighter, and our relationships become rooted in grace rather than resentment. This is not about doing more for God, but being with God—receiving, resting, and then walking in the good works He has prepared for us. Brett also explores Mary and Martha's later appearances in John 11 and 12, showing how both sisters grow in their relationship with Jesus. Martha boldly declares Jesus as the Christ even in grief, and Mary pours out costly perfume on His feet, embodying extravagant devotion. These moments illustrate what it looks like to live from our portion in Christ: drawing near in loss, pouring out in worship, and trusting Jesus with our reputation, our resources, and our very lives. The sermon closes with a heartfelt invitation to three kinds of people: those who are serving Jesus yet feel anxious and unseen; those who have drifted from intimacy with God and feel distant from their inheritance; and those for whom the idea of a spiritual inheritance is brand new. For all, the message is clear—Jesus is not asking us to prove our worth, fix our problems, or perform our way into His favor. He is offering Himself, the good portion, and inviting us to receive. This message is a call to stop striving and start sitting—to pause long enough to be with Jesus, to listen, to be filled, and to walk from a place of fullness rather than emptiness. If you've ever wondered if God sees you, if He cares, or if you'll ever feel whole again, this message is for you. It is not just a teaching; it's an invitation to transformation. The good portion is yours. Will you receive it?

Pastor Adam Coleman shared a powerful message about the Good Samaritan parable, challenging the congregation to move beyond convenience and actively show compassion to those in need around them, just as Jesus showed ultimate compassion by saving us from sin. He emphasized that Christianity is a "contact sport" where we must ask ourselves "Who have I made myself a neighbor to?" and take action to serve others, particularly through The Point's Local Reach initiatives and the upcoming Ridge Street campus launch.

In this message, Pastor John Carter talks about the Good Samaritan and having the Spirit of Jesus that has compassion to help those who are weary, scattered, and in need.

We all love the idea of love, but the action of love is something else entirely. In one of his most well-known and misunderstood parables, Jesus tells a story that breaks through our excuses and exposes our limits. He redefines what it means to be a neighbor. The Good Samaritan isn't just a call to be kind. It is a picture of a love that crosses boundaries, stoops low, pays the cost, and points us to the one who came to rescue and restore. Join us as we explore the action, the motivation, and the redemption of love as we hear Jesus' invitation to go and do likewise.

Saint Athanasius ChurchContra Mundum SwaggerVideo Version

Jesus often taught in parables, simple stories that illustrated a spiritual truth. Some of Jesus' most famous parables are unique to the Gospel of Luke. In what we call the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus describes for his followers who would be their neighbor and what it means to be a good neighbor. Telling the Parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector, he focuses on the condition of the heart and salvation by grace. Jesus' parables highlight a major theme in Luke: our call to discipleship. Throughout the book, we repeatedly find the invitation to follow Jesus Christ. Together, let's discover what Jesus teaches about the attitudes and hearts of his followers and discuss honestly what it costs to prioritize Jesus in our lives. 

Imagine a world without rules. No stoplights. No order. No boundaries. Just chaos. That's exactly what Satan wants: not just in the world but in your soul.From the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Dom breaks open the Gospel of the Good Samaritan in a way you've never heard before. This isn't a sentimental message about “being nice.” It's a battle cry for Catholic men to return to order and to recognize the Savior who comes not only with mercy but with discipline and authority. Jesus is not just the Samaritan in this story, He's the King, the Divine Physician, and the Bridegroom who restores broken men, binds their wounds with sacraments, and places them inside His Church to heal.Do you have the humility to admit you're the wounded man? Will you allow Christ to perform spiritual surgery on your soul? Or will you keep limping in chaos, wounded and angry, rejecting the very order that heals you?This episode will convict you. It will challenge you. And it will show you how the Church—through the priesthood, the sacraments, and the Mass—is the battlefield medic station every man needs.

Christ, Our First Neighbor: The Call to Go and Do Likewise The Homily initially reflects on a personal experience during a visa interview . . . . . . where the identity as a priest was questioned, drawing a parallel to the Gospel account in which a lawyer tests Jesus' identity and authority. Jesus responds with the parable of the Good Samaritan, shifting the focus from the legalistic question “Who is my neighbor?” to the deeper reality that Christ Himself has become a neighbor to humanity. In the parable, the journey from Jerusalem (symbolizing a movement away from God) represents humanity's fall, with the wounded man symbolizing sinful, broken people. The priest and Levite, themselves on a path away from God, are unable to help. It is the Good Samaritan . . . symbolizing Jesus . . . who shows compassion, heals, and restores the wounded man, a clear symbol for Christ's saving work through the sacraments and His incarnation. Christ has Made Himself Our Neighbor The key message: because Christ has made Himself our neighbor through love, compassion, and sacrifice, we are now commissioned to become neighbors to others . . . especially those in need, those who mourn, and those seeking forgiveness or assistance. Our ability to love others flows from having first received Christ's love ourselves.

The parable of the Good Samaritan answers the question, "Who is my neighbor?" (Lectionary #105) July 12, 2025 - St. William Catholic Church - Foxboro, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Jesus is the teacher who in the parable of the Good Samaritan calls us to show mercy. Jesus is the Good Samaritan who comes to us and saves us after we're are left for dead. Jesus is the one beaten by robbers who we are to be a neighbor to by showing mercy. Jesus is the innocent one crucified with the robbers, so that he can save them too.

Read Online“You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27A scribe asked Jesus what he needed to do to inherit eternal life. Jesus asked the scribe what the Law of Moses taught. The above line was the scribe's response. He was essentially quoting Deuteronomy 6:4, which was a common prayer prayed by the Jews and seen as a summary of the entire Law of Moses as found in the Ten Commandments.Notice that this summary of the Law does not present a negative prohibition such as “Thou shalt not…” Instead, it is a positive command stating, “Thou shalt love…” Love is the fulfillment of the Law of the Old Testament, as well as the fulfillment of the New Law of Christ. When we love God with our whole being, that love overflows upon all of God's creatures, including our neighbor.In this Gospel, the scribe goes on to ask Jesus who His neighbor is. Jesus responds by telling the Parable of the Good Samaritan. In that parable, there was a man beaten and left for dead on the side of the road. A priest and a Levite passed by and ignored the man. But a Samaritan passed by and took care of the man, bringing him to an inn and vowing to pay for his recovery. The story concludes by the Samaritan being identified as the one who acted as a neighbor to the victim.Traditionally, the victim of the robbers in this story has been seen as Adam. Adam represents fallen humanity. The Samaritan represents Jesus who cared for fallen humanity, healed us of sin and provided for our every need. Therefore, according to this parable, Jesus has acted as a neighbor to us, and we must love Him as we love ourselves. But Jesus also says, “Go and do likewise.” This is a commission to fallen humanity, now healed of sin, to go forth to others, acting as Jesus Himself, bringing the healing grace they have been given and bestowing it upon others generously.Sometimes we can see love as a feeling or emotion. Though love is often accompanied by certain emotions and feelings, love is much more. It is an action. In this parable, if the Samaritan simply looked upon the victim and felt sorry for him, had compassion for him but then moved on, he would not have shown love. The love of charity is an action and requires much of us. If we are to fulfill this first and greatest commandment of love of God and neighbor, then we cannot wait until we feel like loving to act. Instead, we must act now and not hesitate. This is love.Reflect, today, upon the true nature of love. Love, in its most elevated form, is the choice to do what is best for others—to help free them from sin and to be an instrument of God's providence in their lives. It's a participation in the very love that God has shown us in Christ Jesus by giving His life for our salvation. We are all called to devote ourselves to this same form of selfless and sacrificial love. Doing so is a requirement for the glorious sharing in eternal life.My loving Lord, You have given everything to fallen humanity. You have freed us from sin and provided for all of our needs. You have acted as a true neighbor in every way. Please give me the grace I need to imitate You and to participate in the love You have for others. May I truly act and never hesitate to bestow on others the charitable love to which I am called. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: African depiction of "The Good Samaritan" by Tim Kubacki, license CC BY 2.0Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc.
