THE PRIEST
Too many times - I’m that priest,
not wanting to stop,
not wanting to find out
who this hurting other is.
Too many times I’m not a Good Samaritan.
I hurry down this winding road,
heavy with the glue of my own busyness,
and the importance of my schedule.
Too many times I say,
“Finally he’s no longer in my
side or rear view mirrors. Phew”
as I’m heading for my next.
Too many times I realize I have
walked by my better self. I keep
moving - but I keep seeing
my brother hurting on the road.

The gospel for today Luke 10: 25-37
is the storyof the Good Samaritan -
but manychurches will use the
readings for the feast
of Our Lady of the Rosary.
