2. The Good samaritan. In Luke, ROAD of CONVERSION
While heading towards Jerusalem, Jesus explains the parable of the Good Samaritan, as a firts attitude of conversion: love.
With Jesus, going towards Jerusalem, today the images of Escytopolis (Betshean, north of Samaria) will accompany us, like those related with the Good Samaritan, near Jericho.

3. Lk 10: And now a lawyer stood up and, to test him, asked, 'Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?'

4. This is a crucial issue: to have LIFE We are weak, but can be eternal
FOREVER
We are weak, but can be eternal

5. He said to him, 'What is written in the Law? What is your reading of it?‘ He replied, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself.‘ Jesus said to him, 'You have answered right, do this and life is yours.'

6. It is only one Law who we carry recorded in our heart: LOVE.

It is only one Law who we carry recorded in our heart: LOVE.
Every other rules most be subordinated to Love

7. But the man was anxious to justify himself and said to Jesus, 'And who is my neighbour?'

8. The others are those who are in front of us at any time
Forget it is an idolatry
Mosaic with the goddesss Tique

9. In answer Jesus said, 'A man was once on his way down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of bandits; they stripped him, beat him and then made off,

10. Among all, we have stripped it and crucified it, until death
To Jesus, and many others, now, today
Road with horitzons of death. ( Today, Carola Rackete has been condemned for saving lifes from death)

11. Now a priest happened to be travelling down the same road, but when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. In the same way a Levite who came to the place saw him, and passed by on the other side.

12. Many of them go by, and we all are silent
Fragments of the road
Many of them go by, and we all are silent
The world needs us ALL to stop and decide, finally, one CHANGE

13. But a Samaritan traveler who came on him was moved with compassion when he saw him. He went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. He then lifted him onto his own mount and took him to an inn and looked after him.

14. The wounds are only softened, if we look with the heart
Details of the road
To SEE, get closer, to harmonize, you have to get into the skin of the other
The wounds are only softened, if we look with the heart

15. Next day, he took out two denarii and handed them to the innkeeper and said, "Look after him, and on my way back I will make good any extra expense you have.“

16. The true valuation has unheard-of details
Remains of buildings in honor of the Parable
Does not stop until having reached the peak

17. Which of these three, do you think, proved himself a neighbour to the man who fell into the bandits' hands?‘ He replied, 'The one who showed pity towards him.' Jesus said to him, 'Go, and do the same yourself.'

18. Compassion always has the last word
Today Jesus tells to ALL of US: “You do the same”

19. Lord, You, that have taught us that the fallen by the wayside is our brother, don´t ever let us to pass by
