REFLECTION
FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN
ORDINARY TIME
Lawyers don't always fare
so well in popular culture. Even the television shows
that exalt some aspects of the legal profession (like
Law & Order or The Good Wife) also have some
lawyers that are less than noble in both their personal
and professional lives. Even in Shakespeare's time this
ambivalence toward lawyers was evident in Henry VI,
Part 2 when Dick the butcher, one of the rebels, proposes to kill all the lawyers since by their arguments they
can have a man condemned as easily as freed. Still,
every day people turn to lawyers seeking their help
with a host of problems. The love-hate relationship
continues.
In the Gospel this weekend, the scholar of the
law is looking for the way to life. His question is sincere. He is trying to understand what is required of him.
He can quote the law, indeed, probably even lives by it.
But the question of who is a neighbor is one of legal
precision. The interpretation of the Mosaic law based
the fact of one being a neighbor on a covenantal relationship. Those who worshipped the one God were
considered as one's neighbor. In the time of Jesus this
narrow interpretation was being reconsidered. Some
religious scholars suggested that a more universal application was needed, while others held to the tradition
that Samaritans, foreigners, and those outside the law
were not neighbors under the law. Jesus makes his position clear, although by coming at it from the other
direction. It is the Samaritan who shows himself to be a
neighbor.
Maybe that is where the argument lies for us
today. We cannot define with legal precision who is
going to be a neighbor to us. All we can do is decide to
be neighborly toward others, that is, to show them the
very love with which we love ourselves. And then rely
on God's mercy that someone will be there for us as a
neighbor in our time of need.

In this intimate look at Mother Teresa’s “private writings,” Fr. Paul Murray, O.P. illumines the meaning of a
life which is only now beginning to be understood. Offering reflections from him book, I Loved Jesus in the Night,
Fr. Murray’s very personal yet powerful presentation
aims to come to terms with the dark night experiences
endured by Mother Teresa in the light of the Gospel and
the mystical teachings of St. John of the Cross. And
something else as well . . . Revelations of Mother Teresa’s
sense of humor!
