Episode 1: Who is My Neighbor?

Listen as a podcast.

“And who is my neighbor?” This question prompted Jesus to tell the parable of the Good Samaritan. Join us this season as we contemplate this parable and what it means to us here on our Native Soil. Why does the Lord have a preferential love for the poor—the orphan, the widow, the alien, the imprisoned? What would it look like if we did? What if we more fully let the poor determine the priorities of our family, our parish and our Archdiocese?

Dig In Further:

1. Who is your neighbor? Who are the poor most proximate to you? Physically poor? Spiritually poor?

2. What would it look like for you to have preferential love for these people? What changes in your lifestyle would need to happen? What sacrifices might you have to make?

3. St. Ambrose said, "You are not making a gift of what is yours to the poor man, but you are giving him back what is his. You have been appropriating things that are meant to be for the common use of everyone. The earth belongs to everyone, not to the rich." What might you need to give back to the poor?
