Our friends are back! Charlie and Maggie return to Writing in Progress as we reveal and react to Writer's Playground's 11th set of prompts. Not only did we enjoy some (read: a lot) banter and laughs for nearly an hour and a half... but in the most recent Writer's Playground challenge, MM placed 3rd and Charlie received an honorable mention, so they're insight is especially valuable. We try to learn from the best!Full disclosure (Justin here): I had the intention of releasing this episode while the competition was ongoing. However, enough life things got in the way... it became clear I would only have time to write a story *OR* edit/publish/post this episode last week. After DNFing the last challenge, I was determined to get something turned in this time, and trust me... I just barely did. So that's why this episode is releasing the day *after* the conclusion of the comp. We hope you enjoy it all the same, and maybe it can help the long wait for results to go just a tiny bit faster. :)Reminder to anyone who may be involved in the judging process for Writer's Playground: we do workshop a few specific ideas in this episode, so please don't listen until after the conclusion of the judging period.Finally, we need to plug our Patreon, we'd be so honored to have you as a member of our community.

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.

The Fifth Sunday after Pentecost. In a world that often draws lines between "us" and "them," what does it mean to become the Good Samaritan? Fr. John Kennedy explores Jesus' radical call to love across boundaries—racial, political, religious—and what it means to be baptized into the heart of Christ. Whether you've heard the parable of the Good Samaritan a dozen times or are hearing it with fresh ears, this sermon will challenge and inspire you to live a bigger, bolder life—one not small and safe, but wide open with love.

Was Jesus created or divine? Dr. Karlo explores Colossians and the Good Samaritan to defend Jesus' divinity and show love's role in justification.

This episode recorded live at the Becker's Hospital Review 15th Annual Meeting features Joy White, Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer, Legacy Health Good Samaritan Medical Center. Dr. White shares how her team has reduced contract labor, launched an inclusion-focused campaign, and leveraged social media to attract and retain top talent while navigating rising care demands and shrinking reimbursement.

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.

COMPASSION AND LOVE!!In Luke 10:25-37, Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan in response to a question posed by a lawyer about inheriting eternal life. The parable illustrates the essence of true compassion and love through the actions of a Samaritan who helps a wounded man left for dead on the roadside.

Who are our neighbors? The people who live next to us? The people who look like us, think like us, or vote for us? Jesus confronts the prevailing belief that only a few people are worthy of our love, trust, and respect. The Parable of the Good Samaritan stands as a beacon of light against the darkness of prejudice, hate, and tribalism.

In this powerful reflection, we hear the deeper meaning behind the parable of the Good Samaritan. What if Jesus is the Good Samaritan—and the inn is the Catholic Church?   Fr. Hollowell shares how the Church is the place of healing and restoration for the wounded, and how you are called to help bring others to this place of mercy, especially those who are searching, broken, or longing for truth.   Who in your life is waiting for someone to open the door?

Luke 10:25-37

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In this powerful message from our ongoing series in the Gospel of Luke, Pastor Benjer McVeigh leads us through one of the most familiar — and dangerously misunderstood — teachings of Jesus: the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37). But before we tune out with a “been there, heard that” mindset, Benjer challenges us to slow down, lean in, and let the Word do surgery on our souls. What if we've misunderstood this parable all along? What if the point isn't about identifying who our neighbor is — but realizing we are the neighbor God has sent? This message begins by confronting the deceptively small definition of “neighbor” held by the expert in the law, a man who — like many of us — sought to justify himself by asking Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” But Jesus doesn't answer with a list of who qualifies. Instead, He flips the lawyer's question on its head and tells a story where the most unlikely character — a Samaritan, despised by Jews in that time — becomes the model of true neighborly love. As Benjer unpacks the cultural and religious background of the text, he reveals that the priest and Levite in the story weren't merely callous — they were likely busy with temple duties, constrained by religious expectations. Yet their roles, deeply tied to the law, couldn't produce the compassion needed in the moment. It is the Samaritan — the outsider, the one least expected — who sees, stops, and sacrifices. He is moved by compassion, not convenience. He loves with open hands, at great risk and great cost to himself. And this, Jesus says, is what it means to be a neighbor. The message digs deeper, applying this radical vision of love to our daily lives. Who have we disqualified from being our neighbor? Who have we labeled in such a way that excuses us from loving them? Whether it's someone we disagree with politically, someone whose lifestyle we don't understand, or someone we believe “deserves” the consequences they're facing — we are reminded that the teaching of Jesus leaves no room for exclusion. We don't get to decide who deserves love. We simply get to extend it, because Jesus first loved us. And the message gets personal. Benjer shares how a group of teenagers at church camp, willing to sit under the Word of God with seriousness and humility, stirred his own heart. Their willingness to listen, respond, and be transformed by Scripture became the catalyst for this week's call: to slow down, stop crossing to the other side of the road, and live as the kind of neighbor Jesus modeled. By the end, the parable turns into a mirror. It's not just a story about someone else. It's a story about us. And if we take it seriously — if we dare to pray the dangerous prayer, “God, who are you calling me to be a neighbor to today?” — we might discover that Jesus has already answered. He calls us not to love from a distance or with conditions, but to love incarnationally. To see, to stop, to bind up wounds, to take risks, to pay costs, to walk with the hurting until they heal. This is the call to become a people — and a church — marked by the extravagant compassion of Jesus. A church where no label can override the title “neighbor.” A church that reflects the Good Samaritan who saw us lying in the road, broken and far from hope — and didn't pass by. Instead, He stopped. He loved. And He gave everything.

We've turned the Good Samaritan into a feel-good story about kindness—but Jesus told it to provoke, challenge, and disrupt. This sermon unpacks the radical edge of the parable: a call to draw near, to cross boundaries, and to embody the kind of gut-level compassion that costs us something. Real compassion isn't about being nice—it's about being willing to get messy. Featuring a live interview with Matt and Coralie Brown, former members of Highway now serving refugees in Kentucky.

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.

“It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.” At least once the Good Samaritan comes along. This week's episode has Karin and Blake journeying with Jesus in the 10th chapter of Luke, and talking about what it takes to be “like a good neighbor...” Karin encourages us to emphasize hospitality as a counter to hostility, and rate ourselves on a five-point scale for compassion.  Where would you rank yourself ... hostile or hospitable? Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Project Zion Podcast!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Sunday, the 13th, when we remember the third apparition of Fatima, the Gospel of Luke (St. Luke 10:25-37) tells the parable of the Good Samaritan, a powerful lesson about mercy toward those in need.St. Augustine identifies the good Samaritan with our Lord, and the wounded man with Adam, the symbol of all fallen mankind.Christ Jesus, seeing man's wounds and moved by compassion and piety, comes down to earth to cure man's wounds, making them his own (Is 53:4; Mt 8:17; 1 Pet 2:24; 1 Jn 3:5).St. John explained that God sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him, love one another, and see our sins expiated.This parable leaves no doubt about who our neighbor is (anyone who needs our help) and how we should love them, not by having the right feelings, but by taking pity, being compassionate, and serving their spiritual or corporal needs.Christians should never distance themselves from others' needs. One way to express love for one's neighbor is to perform the "works of mercy.”There are fourteen such works, seven spiritual and seven corporal.• To convert the sinner;• To instruct the ignorant;• To counsel the doubtful;• To comfort the sorrowful;• To bear wrongs patiently;• To forgive injuries;• To pray for the living and the dead.The Corporal Works of Mercy are:• To feed the hungry;• To give drink to the thirsty;• To clothe the naked;• To shelter the homeless;• To visit the sick;• To visit the imprisoned;• To bury the dead.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

I had the privilege of listening to Bishop Barron preach on how Jesus is like the Good Samaritan. My favorite part of the homily is that the Catholic Church is kind of like the inn. We are helping those wounded by sin recover from their injuries.

This week Fr. Hezekias and Annie explore Moses' final words to Israel, break down Jesus's parable of the Good Samaritan, and discuss why being a good neighbor sometimes means having difficult conversations instead of staying quiet.

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.
