Good Samaritan — I’m always looking for the new lesson. It’s such a familiar story. What’s powerful and applicable this reading this time?

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart , and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind ; and your neighbor as yourself

Is the reminder from this part. Again. Live it out! It isn’t necessary to have something new. It’s just necessary to become it and to do it.

The second part relates — persistence about becoming the person who loves God and people in that way — 11:13 promises that God will give the Holy Spirit to people who ask.

Minute by minute by minute by minute.

Let us not be discouraged. Let us recommit again to be transformed and so to love.
