The Word…

"For this command that I enjoin on you today
is not too mysterious and remote for you.
It is not up in the sky, that you should say, 'Who will go up in the sky
to get it for us and tell us of it, that we may carry it out?'
Nor is it across the sea, that you should say,
'Who will cross the sea to get it for us and tell us of it,
that we may carry it out?' No, it is something very near to you,
already in your mouths and in your hearts; you have only to carry it out”

(Dt 30:10-14).

 

“Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers' victim?"
 He answered, "The one who treated him with mercy."
Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise"

(Lk 10:25-37).
