朋友们，今天的福音是耶稣最负盛名的比喻之一，即好撒玛黎雅人的故事。每个故事、比喻、实例、箴言说到底都是主的形象。
沙特尔主教座堂有着众多精美的彩窗，其中的一扇上交织了两个故事：原祖违命的描绘和好撒玛黎雅人的比喻。这反映了教父们把两者联系起来。好撒玛黎雅人象征着耶稣本身作为世人的救主。
那么我们的任务就是成为基督那样。“这三个人中，谁是那遭遇强盗者的近人呢？是怜悯他的那人”。耶稣遂对他说：“你也照样去做吧。”
这样一来，我们活着就是要找出那些困在路旁的无助的受害者。我们不能见死不救、无动于衷，而是要像耶稣那样做，就算对方是我们的天敌、就算对方令我们心惊胆战，我们都要去救助。我们以教会的力量来传达基督的十字架所包含的威力，像好撒玛黎雅人倾注油与酒那样倾注我们的怜悯之情。
Friends, our Gospel today is one of the best-known of Jesus' parables, the story of the Good Samaritan. Every story, parable, illustration, exhortation is, at the end of the day, a picture of the Lord.
In one of the great windows of Chartres Cathedral there is an intertwining of two stories, the account of the Fall of Mankind and the parable of the Good Samaritan. This reflects a connection that was made by the church fathers. The Good Samaritan is a symbol of Jesus, himself, in his role as savior of the world.
Now our task is to be other Christs. "Which of these three was neighbor to the man who fell in with the robbers? The one who treated him with compassion". Jesus says to him, "Go and do the same."
We spend our lives now looking for those people stranded by the road, victimized by sin. We don't walk by, indifferent to them, but rather we do what Jesus did. Even those who are our natural enemies, even those who frighten us. And we bring the Church's power to bear, pouring in the oil and wine of compassion, communicating the power of Christ's cross.
