📖 Theme of the Week: Who is My Neighbour? 🌍
In this week’s Gospel, we reflect on the parable of the Good Samaritan. A man is hurt and left on the roadside. Two passers-by walk past… but a Samaritan - an outsider - stops, helps, and makes sure he’s safe. Jesus reminds us: being a good neighbour isn’t about background, status, or belief. It’s about kindness, compassion, and action.
💛 Our neighbour is anyone who needs help.
💡 We are called to care, even when it’s hard, even when no one else does.
