A haiku
sequence.
Thanks for the
stories,
Jesus. This one is
cunning;
sneaking up on us.
The Samaritan,
like Muslims in our
own age;
fear and suspicion.
From Samaria,
an unexpected hero
when others had
failed.
This tale confronts
me:
am I the Samaritan?
Or am I the priest?
Generosity.
At the heart of this
story,
and of the gospel.
“Hey there!”
says Jesus,
“You who hear this
tale of love:
go and do the same!”
