Luke 10: 25-37 - 'The good Samaritan.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 2083 (in 'You Shall love to Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind') - Jesus summed up man's duties toward God in this saying: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind." This immediately echoes the solemn call: "Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God is one LORD." God has loved us first. the love of the One God is recalled in the first of the "ten words." the commandments then make explicit the response of love that man is called to give to his God.

- 2822 (in 'Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven') - Our Father "desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." He "is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish." His commandment is "that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another." This commandment summarizes all the others and expresses his entire will.

- 1825 (in 'Charity') - Christ died out of love for us, while we were still "enemies." The Lord asks us to love as he does, even our enemies, to make ourselves the neighbor of those farthest away, and to love children and the poor as Christ himself (abbreviated).

- 1293 (in 'The Signs and the Rite of Confirmation') - In treating the rite of Confirmation, it is fitting to consider the sign of anointing and what it signifies and imprints: a spiritual seal. Anointing, in Biblical and other ancient symbolism, is rich in meaning: oil is a sign of abundance and joy; it cleanses (anointing before and after a bath) and limbers (the anointing of athletes and wrestlers); oil is a sign of healing, since it is soothing to bruises and wounds; and it makes radiant with beauty, health, and strength.

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to Logical Bible Study. This is the Catholic podcast, which is all about doing a verse-by-verse exegesis of scripture, so really diving into the text
0:22.5	to try and understand what it means on the most literal level. And of course, the goal of all this is to
0:28.3	help you understand Jesus better, to get to know Him and to get to know God better, and that should
0:33.9	be our goal as Catholics. Today are we going to look at a passage, and this is the one
0:38.0	you'll hear at Mass today, and it's quite a well-known one. It's the Good Samaritan, the parable of the
0:42.8	Good Samaritan. But I think there'll be some interesting things in here that you may not have
0:46.9	considered before. So let's start by reading out the text. It's Luke chapter 10 versus 25 to 37.
0:55.1	There was a lawyer who, to disconcert Jesus, stood up and said to him,
1:01.2	Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?
1:05.7	Jesus said to him, what is written in the law?
1:08.7	What do you read there?
1:10.7	He replied, you must love the Lord your God
1:13.8	with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your
1:20.3	neighbor as yourself. You have answered right, said Jesus. Do do this and life is yours.
1:33.6	But the man was anxious to justify himself and said to Jesus, who is my neighbour?
1:42.0	Jesus replied, a man was once on his way down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of Briggins.
1:43.2	They took all he had, beat him and then made off,
1:47.1	leaving him half dead. Now a priest happened to be travelling down the same road, but when he saw the
1:53.8	man, he passed by on the other side. In the same way, a Levite who came to the place saw him and passed by on the other side.
2:04.2	But a Samaritan traveller who came upon him was moved with compassion when he saw him.
2:10.0	He went up and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them.
2:15.4	He then lifted him onto his own mount, carried him to the inn and looked
