15th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"He replied to him, 'You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.'" In today's Gospel a scholar questions Jesus about
how to gain eternal life. In case anyone ever wonders whether heaven is within reach, one only needs to refer to this Gospel. Jesus provides a clear answer that gives us a clear plan of action: We are to love God with all that we are, and also to love our
neighbors. Really, it's that simple. The scholar, however, complicated things to make himself look better. Instead of accepting
the simplicity of Jesus' instruction, he wanted to split hairs, asking, "And who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied with the story of the
Good Samaritan-and the lesson that our neighbors are not just those we know or love. Rather, our neighbor is the person that
needs our help, the person whom we would rather ignore, the person whom God puts in our path. In short, everyone is our
neighbor and we are called to treat everyone with mercy. This is part of how we gain eternal life But this flows from the first
element of Jesus' answer. First and foremost, Jesus instructs us to love God "with all your heart, with all your being, with all your
strength, and with all your mind." When we love God in this way, truly as the Lord of our life, then loving our neighbors becomes the easy part. When our hearts and minds are full of the love of God-who loves all people-then it will necessarily follow
that we too will desire to share that love with others and not count the cost. The Good Samaritan is an excellent example of this
kind of love. Without hope of repayment, he gave of his time and his money to help the poor victim. But in return, the Samaritan
will surely "gain eternal life."
15º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"Maestro, ¿qué debo hacer para conseguir la vida eterna? Observemos que en el Evangelio de hoy hay un diálogo
de preguntas y respuestas. Una parábola muy conocida en medio de este dialogo es contada por Jesús. La parábola
del buen samaritano. Muchos oyentes como en el tiempo de Jesús pueden hacerse los sordos y quedarse siempre
con el mismo comentario de siempre y exclamar. ¡Esos que se pasan de largo! ¡Qué malas personas son! Es fácil
dejar a otros con la carga de los demás, quedando tan tranquilos porque otros hacen lo que a mí me toca hacer.
¡Eso no se vale! Tenemos que fijarnos hoy en la frase final del Evangelio. "Entonces Jesús le dijo: 'Anda y haz tu
lo mismo'". De la segunda pregunta básica es que Jesús cuenta la parábola. "¿Y quién es mi prójimo?" La parábola
termina con una pregunta, para que el mismo que tiene duda responda. "¿Cuál de estos tres te parece que se portó
como prójimo del hombre que fue asaltado por los ladrones?" La respuesta fue, "El que tuvo compasión de él". Si
hiciéramos esta pregunta al Papa Francisco, de seguro él nos contestaría. ¡Misericordia, el que mostro misericordia! Porque, en verdad, éste ha sido su pedido, llamado e invitación a lo largo de esta Año Santo de Misericordia. Vayan al mundo, salgan de los escondites del egoísmo y muestren el amor de Jesús que es rico en compasión y amor. ¡No pasemos de largo en las necesidades de los demás! En otras palabras, dejar el pecado de
omisión para entrar en la acción del Evangelio.

Sharing the Gospel
The Good Samaritan found a beaten man along the road. He spent a lot of time and money to take
care of him. In today's time, he would have called 911 and paid the ambulance and hospital. Many
people are afraid to stop to help others. If you see someone who needs help, call 911 and explain
who needs help and where. Trained police and paramedics will come to help. You can pray for the
person. Jesus wants you to love your neighbors. He wants you to help your neighbors. You could
help the people who live next door, or the people that go to your church. But Jesus wants you to
think bigger than that. Jesus wants you to help people all around the world - no matter where
they live, and no matter what they believe.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, show me how to help others.
