FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
from
Julie George, SSpS
Preaching for the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Julie George, SSpS offers a reflection on how the parable of the Good Samaritan calls us beyond our traditional boundaries, laws, and rules with a particular emphasis on how the institutional Church might respond faithfully to the parable:
"Jesus taught us to transform the law as per the signs of the time, and to stand in solidarity with the people in need."
