Luke 12:25-37; Amos 7

Jesus affirms our best proverbs and epigrams and yet undermines them as well: for our good and the good of our neighbours!  Fr. Allen delves into Jesus' famous parable of "The Good Samaritan" demonstrating that Jesus resists all our attempts to define Love of God and Neighbour in a way that puts us in charge of determining who is worthy of help.  Indeed learning to "do mercy" for all, after the manner of God, is the key to personal and communal health.
