30th Sunday in Ordinary Time - A. "Love your neighbor as yourself."
I love this gospel passage, but I hate preaching it. How do you top Luke's sermon on it, the parable of the Good Samaritan? My usual course is to tell stories (which I have stolen from other preachers). This Sunday my story basket was empty. So I fell back on repeating the Corporal and Spiritual Works of mercy. I added one to each: support institutions of charity and justice to help bodily needs, and listen attentively and fully to respond to the emptiness of another's spirit.
