1 READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
Jesus agreed with a teacher of the law that, to live with God forever, we must love God
and love our neighbour as ourselves. Then the teacher asked, “Who is my neighbour?”
Jesus replied, “A man was robbed and badly beaten. Two people passed by and left
him for dead. But a Samaritan traveller stopped, felt sorry for him and bandaged his
wounds. He then paid for him to stay at an inn and looked after him. Who then was a
‘neighbour’ to this poor man?” “The one who took pity on him,” the teacher replied. Sunday Gospel Gallery

“Anyone who needs me, and whom I can

help, is my neighbour.”
Pope Benedict XVI
The Good Samaritan teaches us how to be a good
neighbour. Ask your child what the word ‘neighbour’
means to them. What makes a good neighbour? Do you
ever find it difficult to ‘love your neighbour as yourself’?
Can you remember a time when someone was a good
neighbour to you? Who are the ‘Good Samaritans’ in your
community?

Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for teaching us how to be good neighbours

Good neighbours are caring, generous, kind and
compassionate. How can we show these qualities and be
‘Good Samaritans’ to those around us in this coming week?
Perhaps we can: visit an elderly or sick person together as
a family; be welcoming to new people in our community; try
to include someone at school who may be feeling lonely
or left out; learn about and help our neighbours abroad:
