Anyone lying
helpless in
that ditch
is a neighbor.
We are all
journeying
down from
Jerusalem
to Jericho,
and this
story haunts us,
for it flatly
contradicts
the strong
persuasion
so widely held
today that our
loyalties and
our obligations
are owed only
to those of
our choice.
(Reflection on
the Parable of
the Good Samaritan)
