In this powerful homily on the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37), we explore Christ’s answer to the question: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”
Far more than a moral tale, this Gospel reveals the heart of Christian life — loving God fully and loving our neighbor without conditions, prejudice, or boundaries.

This homily digs into:
✨ The lawyer’s question and Jesus’ deeper challenge
✨ Why “being” matters more than “doing” in the spiritual life
✨ Why the original audience was shocked by the idea of a “good” Samaritan
✨ The failure of the priest and Levite — and what it reveals about us
✨ The Samaritan as a model of sacrificial love
✨ What this parable demands of us today
✨ How Christian love destroys prejudice and tribalism
✨ Why every single person is our neighbor

If you want a deeper understanding of mercy, compassion, and authentic Christian discipleship, this message will speak directly to your heart.
