Ordinary Time
The Fourth Sunday after Trinity
This Sunday we hear again the famous parable of the Good Samaritan. Many of us will be familiar with the parable.
However, what is sometimes overlooked is the context for this parable. The lawyer is asking Jesus to define exactly who he should classify as his ‘neighbour’. But Jesus is keener to emphasise the practical nature of what it means to ‘love your neighbour’ – to bandage their wounds, carry them to safety, and support their recovery.
The ethnic and social divisions between the Samaritan and the Jew he helped are seemingly incidental, which perhaps is Jesus’ point. “Go and do likewise”, he says.

Wishing you a relaxed and happy summer.
Every blessing, Fr Myles, Rector
