Lectio: Lk 10.25-37

“He [Jesus] said in reply, ‘You shall love the Lord, Your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself’.” Lk 10.27

“O God, You made it so easy for us to know how we should live in this life so as to attain to eternal life with You.

I remember Jesus answered a lawyer of the Mosaic Law that can be summed up in one word, ‘Love.’

Grant that I may truly love You and others with compassion as the Good Samaritan of Your Son’s parable did.

I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.

Operatio: Reflect on “compassion” - mercy, treatment of others beyond what fairness requires; doing of others and not simply feeling for others. In prayer ask for the grace to be a true lover towards all as God wants.


Tomorrow’s readings: Lk 10.38-42
