Are We the Good Samaritan?
When we leave the liturgy on Sundays, we go out into the world to celebrate another liturgy. It is called “the liturgy after the liturgy.” It is the liturgy performed on the roadside wherever there are needy, suffering, wounded, oppressed people. When we minister to them, we minister to the same Jesus who is present in the liturgy. We touch and feed and clothe the very same body of Christ. Jesus said, “Whatever you did unto the least of these my brethren, you did unto me. ---The liturgy has to be continued in this personal and practical way in the everyday situations of life.
