Today we are going to hear the story of the Good Samaritan.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.

…”Who is my neighbour?”

Jesus answered, “There was once a man who was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when robbers attacked him, stripped him, and beat him up, leaving him half dead.

It so happened that a priest was going down that road; but when he saw the man, he walked on by the other side.

In the same way a Levite also came there, went over and looked at the man, and then walked on by on the other side.

But a Samaritan who was travelling that way came upon the man, and when he saw him, his heart was filled with pity. He went over to him, poured oil and wine on his wounds and bandaged them; the he put the man on his own animal and took him to an inn, where he took care of him.

The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper, ‘and when I come back this way, I will pay you whatever else you spend on him.’ ”

And Jesus concluded, “In your opinion, which one of these three acted like a neighbour toward the man attacked by the robbers?”

The teacher of the Law answered, “The one who was kind to him.”

Jesus replied, “You go, then, and do the same.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

(Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ)

Who was the good friend in this story?
What should the Priest and the Levite have done to be good friends?
Who does Jesus say is our neighbour?
Who is a good friend in your life? What do they do to be a good friend?
When have you been a good friend to others? How did it make you feel to be a good friend?
