Gospel Reading Today, 06 October

Liturgical Day: Monday October 6
   Gospel (Lk 10, 25-37): At that time, a teacher of the Law stood up and said to test Jesus, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? '. He said, "What is written in the law? How do you read? '. He replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. "He said to him: "You have answered. Do this and you will live. "

But he wanted to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?". Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who stripped him after, they were leaving him half dead. Incidentally, going down that road a priest and saw him, made ​​a detour. Likewise, a Levite who passed by the place and saw him, a rodeo. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came with him, and had compassion on him; and he came and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and him on his own beast and brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, Take care of him, if you spend more, I will pay you when I return. Which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the robbers? '. He said: "He who showed mercy on him." Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
