Samaritans, Jews and other peoples glorifying the Lord<\/em><\/p>\n

Jesus is our peace.\u00a0 He breaks down, then, the wall of enmity among Jews, Samaritans and other peoples.<\/h3>\n

Jews and Samaritans hate each other.\u00a0 Consequently, one group takes the other to be incapable of doing anything good.\u00a0 When such enmity prevails, a scorned person\u2019s good deed provides scorners an opportunity to learn.<\/p>\n

Jesus takes advantage of the Samaritan\u2019s saving and thankful faith to show that salvation is for everyone\u2014Jews, Samaritans, Gentiles.\u00a0 In effect, he warns likewise that it is indeed quite possible that Samaritans and prostitutes enter the kingdom of God ahead of those who despise them.<\/p>\n

The warning remains relevant.<\/h4>\n

Of course, there is no lack today, in the society or in the Church, of self-righteous people. \u00a0These believe they have a right to everything good, and they insist on their privileges that are due to their race or their hierarchical rank.\u00a0 Hence, they have no reason to thank anyone.<\/p>\n

These individuals flaunt their wealth, moreover, and tirelessly repeat, \u201cI am rich.\u201d\u00a0 They claim, too, that they possess the whole truth and that they always tell it, at the same time that they call liar every opponent.\u00a0 They think they know everything and that they alone can fix things.<\/p>\n

And they always find people to use as their accursed Samaritans.\u00a0 These people are the foreigners who, accusers claim, cross borders to commit heinous crimes.\u00a0 Accusers think, therefore, that a great chasm or a very high wall will protect them from these criminals.\u00a0 And it never dawns on these \u201cself-made\u201d individuals that their wealth may be due in part to poor immigrants.<\/p>\n

Much less are these affluent folks capable of admitting something like what St. Vincent de Paul said.\u00a0 He admitted that \u201cwe live \u2026 on the sweat of poor people,\u201d and that the bread that we eat comes to us \u201cfrom the labor of the poor (SV.EN XI:190-191<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In imitation of Jesus<\/h4>\n

The saint served as a bridge between the rich and the poor.\u00a0 The self-satisfied, on the other hand, divide.<\/p>\n

The latter want a great chasm or a very high wall.\u00a0 They divide to conquer, which is the policy of those who come so that others may serve them.<\/p>\n

The former, in contrast, imitated the one who had come to serve.\u00a0 Those who understood nothing of the healing of Naaman tried to kill the Servant.\u00a0 And in the end, Jesus gave his body up and shed his blood to ransom even Samaritans.\u00a0 He remains faithful even to the unfaithful, for he cannot deny himself.<\/p>\n

Grant us, Lord, to partake of the feast of rich food and choice wines that you provide for all peoples.<\/em><\/p>\n
