JOURNAL/WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR

JOURNAL/WHO IS MYNEIGHBOR?




Jesus asked,-'WHICH of these three-in your opinion-was neighbor to the robbers victim?'” Luke 10:36




The story of THE GOOD SAMARITAN is ONE of the favorite gospel stories of all time-And in it Jesus teaches the scholar and us that A TRUE NEIGHBOR might be someone that we despise-like the Samaritan-a SAMARITAN was a man that the JEWS regarded as an enemy and spiritually unclean


IT might be a good time for each of us to REFLECT about who has surprised us and shown us MERCY in our life when we didn't expect it or DESERVE IT-WHO CAN WE pass that same mercy on to in our lives?


DEAR LORD-we ask you to TEACH US to learn to ACT WITH MERCY in thought-word-and deed


IT IS a great day to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a great day to show someone MERCY today

WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR




Neighbor for neighbor
Don’t just walk on by
Neighbor for neighbor
Let us all
Love one another
Come on
Let’s give it a try


Neighbor for neighbor
Don’t just walk on by


In the 10^th chapter
Of Saint Luke’s Gospel
A young man asks Jesus
Who is my neighbor


Jesus responds with a story
About a man
Who was robbed, stripped
And left lying
By the side of the road


Neighbor for neighbor
Don’t just walk on by
This is me loving you
Let us help one another
Let us
Give it a try


Jesus goes on to say
A priest comes by
And just keeps on going


Neighbor for neighbor
Give it a try


A Levite passes by
And just keeps on going


Neighbor for neighbor
Don’t just walk on by


But a Samaritan comes by
Stops, bandages his wounds
Takes the man to an inn
Pays for his room
And even stops
To check on him on his way home


Who is my neighbor


Neighbor for neighbor
Don’t just walk on by
Let us all
Be there for one another
Come on
Let’s give it a try


Neighbor for neighbor
I love you all
Neighbor for neighbor
Let us all give it a try


So
Who is my neighbor


My neighbor
Is anyone in need


So world
Let us all
Just try
To love one another


And
WE WILL GET BY
