Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I came across a beautiful quote attributed to St. Teresa of Avila and I quote, “Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Ours are the eyes through which he looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”

Jesus did away with social and religious boundaries. He challenges us to rethink what it means to be a neighbor. We are used to being good neighbors to people in church or in our neighborhoods or with our friends by helping them. But does fear keep us from doing Jesus’ radical neighborliness for a stranger or for someone we don’t like? As we continue our liturgy today think about and pray upon, “How can I be more like the Samaritan to more people in this time and place?” Come, O’ Holy Spirit, help us to be more loving no matter the cost! May God bless you all in all ways.

Respectfully submitted by your brother,

Deacon Dave
